"Tea in the Garden" captures the serene poetry of outdoor leisure, painted with the expressive immediacy of impressionism. The scene presents a sunlit table draped in a soft white cloth, accented by a vivid blue runner, set with delicate teacups, a dark blue teapot, and fresh fruit. Two simple chairs flank the table, inviting the viewer to imagine joining this intimate gathering. The centerpiece is a pair of vases filled with vibrant blossoms—tall purple irises and fresh white flowers—that echo the lush greenery and glowing light of the garden beyond. The artist employs swift, textured brushstrokes and a luminous palette, allowing colors to vibrate against one another—lavender and violet against warm yellows, cool blues set against fresh greens. This dialogue of color and light conveys both harmony and spontaneity, transforming a quiet domestic ritual into a lyrical celebration of summer. The work is not only a still life, but also an evocation of atmosphere—an invitation to pause, breathe, and savor beauty in its simplest form.
