As explained by the Gallery: "After three weeks of plein air painting in remote villages and bustling markets and temples, as well as visits to art schools and museums, we return home, saturated with sights and sounds. In China there’s a tradition of making tea from a single flower blossom. The first cup is made quickly and carries the scent of the first day of spring. The sixth cup steeps and develops a complexity. The plein air work was like that first cup of tea. Home in their studios the artists created the “sixth-cup” paintings for this special international show at Dana Gallery."
