Hello hivers, an happy Friday to you all! Another weekend is just around the corner and here in my city we are having a frozen weather. I'm pretty sure it's raining not so far from here and maybe we will have a white weekend. I lived for around 10 years on a village on the mountain before to start to live in my (small) city and I remember how hard was to do a lot of things during the snow time. The first year I lived there it started to snow at the end of October and we had the last snow in March and my daughter used to say we were living in Narnia. 😆 The first thing I loved to live in my city was that I didn't have to drive along the streets covered by snow and ice or to go out of my home shovelling snow every morning. Coming back to the theme of my content, today I'm here to show you the artwork I just finished to paint: ![DSCN8593.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/Ep5of4evQ4dbjSzjxeFRUXY54m8GgnQQno1EvgEHtAxP7vZWyEUP8ni82bug82bTEFZ.JPG) ![DSCN8594.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EogPMD2F5HbfdJNijZcbXKpvkQ8ZQg5TBkYL2Y7UXBeBDkVnt6ocywtD2JdChA12Wyj.JPG) In this case I thought to paint one of my special tea cup with a sea scene inside of it. A tiny paper boat and a sweet bird similar to a seagull to represent the sea theme. It's an oil colors painting on 200 gsm paper in A4 size and, as usual, I took some pics while I was painting it on my small working table so you can see the process too: ![DSCN8588.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/Eonk719zpBJtxsB8c4j18HwY8j7eS844tcaPdZRQGeNWvgj6GuRSskpXwmxugKQ6JCV.JPG) ![WhatsApp Image 2026-01-09 at 10.07.25 (1).jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EoErxMokCM1AABqtCq1DV2nkyoMtCN3PebrVfrzN27toxChQ84V5TAXotitWxxr3bo4.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Image 2026-01-09 at 10.07.25 (2).jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/Eo4DVBSRMdcTYUKvTYzXL99pdgiDgdit47fnL3T3uNUbuViQrd4cMecBbdro4t9eFUw.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Image 2026-01-09 at 10.07.25.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EogPD7NjVuQRKXuVEpZVioAQq9NUHbcn2v2HGVUwi1TCyS1QSoCDMU2WTp66HjLBsS3.jpeg) ![DSCN8590.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EogNrtPTZADnrP8gPYDvkc2tXVkf1gNtXkSP2jAUsNuJ9uq3aN6TUHoJekE51mPFhxD.JPG) Soon I'll add this new artwork to my online shops (link at the bottom), hoping it will find a new home!
