An antique copper tea kettle is the subject of the new contemporary art print from DOUGLAS Art Prints ® appropriately named tea kettle. I discovered this antique tea kettle in the shop where I buy my coffee. I can't tell you how many times over the years I looked at it before finally one day I looked at it as a piece of contemporary art. I may use this tea kettle again as a prop in a more elaborate still life in the future but I felt this kettle had more than enough character from its age and use to stand alone as the tea kettle as its own print.

The tea kettle is done in an oil painting style. The ironic part is the oil painting style was chosen over my preference for black and white largely because of the lack of color to this well weathered tea kettle. It is the natural lack of color that gives this subject its character in color.
