Last year my dear friend, Danelle Bergstrom, while doing a year long residency in Sweden, found a very special cup and saucer which combined both of my recent themes:  decorative tea cups and pulp fiction women.  She posted it to me and just recently I have been able to do a portrait of it.  So here is Swedish Delights 2013, oil on canvas 56 x 61cm. Here is a detail of the bathing beauties - a great antidote to the freezing weather and strong winds currently experienced in Hill  End.
