Behold this Tea Party in the Garden. My husband has been taking a drawing class at Greenfield Community College this semester, a gift to himself to celebrate his semi-retirement. I have occasionally given him a hard time, but he holds no grudge and painted my fantasy of a Garden Tea Party. Not quite finished yet.
Of course, before there is a tea party there must be tea, which begins with the tea plant Camellia chinensis. Pastels, both. He’s been doing tea and tea cups every which way, some of which I never dreamed of. Great fun.
For more (almost) Wordlessness this Wednesday click here.
And don’t forget – Tomorrow Wednesday, December 11 at midnight is the deadline to click here and leave a comment and win a copy of Seeing Flowers AND a copy of The Roses at the End of the Road.
You must stop teasing him right now. These are beautiful! 🙂
Here’s my Wordless Wednesday.
Love the camellia. How nice that he has something to interest him in his free time. So many men do not.
Deb – I shall be a good wife from now on. I am really happy that he is back to the drawing board.
Denise – WE are both lucky that he has found a happy occupation.
Hi sketches are wonderful. What fun having an artist in you home.
Your husband is so talented! These are lovely!
I love the tea party drawing! Next time y’all are in Houston, he’s welcome to come sketch in my garden 🙂
He’s good! Love the camellia. Please, count me in the drawing.
Really beautiful!!! I would like a view of a stormy sky over the cottage ornee next please 🙂
