Tea Rat: Hmmm....I'm not quite sure from what angle I should begin...

Tea Rat: RATTUS! For the love of Earl Grey, where are you when I need you? I need my tea pot filled, as any good artist sips on a either a glass of wine or a cup of tea as the muse begins to flow!

Tea Rat: I've GOT IT! I know exactly what to paint!

Tea Rat: I guess I'll have to start without a fresh pot of tea. Here goes...

Tea Rat: Right. The overall appearance is excellent; there is a sensitive harmony of hues and the value mass balance is most fascinating. However, I am a bit concerned about the flatness of the background. There needs to be a bit more irregularity without compromising the linear perspective of the piece...

Tea Rat: Ahhhhh....Finally! The curves are most balanced with the mass of the subject and the color composition does not compromise the overall perspective of the subject. A MASTERPIECE!

your Miss Moussie.
MISS M.! YOU CAME! Oh dear, I must paint a portrait of my divine mouse! teeheee
THANK YOU dear one for stopping by! Do come back and give us your artist's critique. (isn't Penny's Tea Rat just fantastic????)
Tea Rat: Well, my dear Rattus, what do you think of my masterpiece of me?
Rattus: I think you, ah, look, um, how would my American friends put it? Ah, you look HIPS. That it, you look HIPS.
Tea Rat: Don't you mean "hip" as in "cool", "tops," the "pinnacle of what a thing can be"?
Rattus: No, I mean "hips" as in your plump heinie, butt, buttox, backside, shank, rump, behind, fanny, tush, derrière, posterior, cheeks, buns, kiester, tush, can, caboose, bum, gluteus maximus,, wazoo, arse.
Tea Rat: Well then, allow me to retort.....
you speak of my arse, caboose, kiester, etc....let's see. Time will tell. When your are delivered on the snowy doorstep in a few weeks, and as we unpack your likeness, let's see what you have to say about being "hips!" I gave Miss Penny your exact measurements that I took whilst you were sleeping. YES...whilst you were sleeping...from snout to toe, I GOT YOU GOOD! teeeheee
Rattus: Well, all I can say is that anyone who uses words like "retort" and "whilst" cannot be trusted to report the truly magnificent proportions of my bodily measurements which are brawny.
Tea Rat: I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Did you say "bulky"?
Rattus: I meant brawny as in pumped.
Tea Rat: Oh. Well I meant bulky as in plumped.
OH MY WORD! My dear Tea Rat, I had no idea you were an ARTIST of this caliber! Your painting is MAGNIFICENT!
Love and kisses,
Bebe
Anita dear, how very sweet of you to share dear Tea Rat..
The painting! It looks JUST LIKE Nowhere! Beautiful.

Penny
Tea Rat: Yes, I meant bulky as in plump but the more of you the better old fellow - it is mahhhhvelous in our eyes...teeehee

teee heeee....dear friend up above, thank you for coming to visit us. Isn't Miss Penny a hoot and a half? Her ability to capture every line and bump and bend...so perfect! Tea Rat loves to paint you know...perhaps you can give him lessons this summer on the balcony!
Oh how delightfully exciting and spellbinding to engage in such a refreshing sense of play. Anita your whimsical drawings of Tea Rat being born into reality in the creative hands of Penny brings huge smiles to my face. What a magical visit. My grandfather used to tell me a smile is not worth having unless felt. Gosh I hope you feel my smile big and wide.
XO,
Vera
I can feel the smile. :)
Absolutely adorable! Who knew little tea rats were so artistic! This is adorable -- I needed a happy face today -- this one does it for me!
So Rattus, you say you are brawny? Tea Rat seems to think you are a bit bulky. teeheee.
I think you are a handsome looking Rat!
Bebe
Rattus: Yes Miss Penny, I am a brawny rat! But you know how HE is....he has this "little rat" syndrome! Thank you kindly for your compliment and I know you are going to capture me down to every wonderful bump and bulge! eehehehe

Well hello there, friends! Tea Rat here....I had no idea that Miss M. and Miss Christel even came back to play!
Oh the words here to describe my form, my ART (RAT just mixed up!) I am soooooo pleased. But thanks to Miss Penny, my form is not immortalized!
Stay friends, and take a cup of tea with me.
Dear Anita,
I love your marvelous illustrations, so delicate, complex and enchanting!
I had an Aunt who died last year, irene haas, who illustrated children's books with a style very similar to yours, and she got awards for her work back in the 1980's.
I always admired her talent and imagination.
(hugs)
Penny White & Tea Rat are adorable. A masterpiece indeed! Nowhere is a lovely place to be. xx
Okay...you guys have me hooked! I MUST visit this place more often!!! "For the love of Earl Grey!" THAT phrase cracked me up!!!
