Joyful colors

It's been some weeks since Mr Sun came and stayed a while longer..

and so last Sunday was a day of painting and art making....

I painted some papers for collage

and I've been connected to these colors..

pages from my watercolor sketchbook 

and a page from my other art journal 

stay happy...

Friendship tea on Tuesday

Haba was our trusted guide in Lijiang

and he invited us to tea..

Haba chose one of the finest Pu-erh (red tea) for us...

and it's always a blessing to be drinking tea with a new found friend....

Happy Tea Tuesday!!

Practice...practice..

and more practice....

overcoming "hesitation"

and gathering "courage" along the way..

sketching, painting and more experimenting...

just do it....

live artfully...

White House on Tuesday..

A dear friend and I finally made it for tea

at the 

TWG cafe last Saturday..

and this was one of 2 menus for our perusal...

I ordered a blend called the "white house" :

a white tea base with flowers and berries

and Catherine had a breakfast tea..

and lunch was lobster tamale with a tea infused vinaigrette,

even the warmed rolls were made with tea leaves...

Happy Tea Tuesday!!

 do hop over to Kimmie's for more tea stories....

Happy weekend!!
