My name is Jane Yates I have painted all of my life. But stopped for a couple of years as my focus shifted to full time semi skilled work and growing vegetables on my allotment. However after accidentally cutting a tendon by moving glasses at my job in the John Lewis cafe. I could hardly do anything for a few weeks. Even opening a jar was impossible. When my hand started to recover, I started to paint again I was pleased to discover me such joy. In a way the accident was a blessing as it reminded me I was an artist and there’s more things in life than just working every hour you can. This is the first of a plan series of paintings of people with teapots. This is my daughter Emily Yates and the tea pot that she painted. I’m looking for all sorts of people to paint with there tea pots. I hope to have enough paintings to do in exhibition in Oxford city this year. So if you have a teapot that you love please send me a photo of you holding it. I only ask that you put a serious face in the photo like you are holding something of great value. Please follow and share this as I need all the encouragement I can muster to keep going as I am back to work at John Lewis place to eat today.
