Reading and Drawing



A thrift shop tea cup, and
some books...


.

I've been re-reading Ann McAffrey's
series about the dragons of Pern.
It's like visiting old friends...





I stuck a few sprigs of
lavender in a bud vase...
then realized they were calling
to me: "Draw me, draw me!
Can't you see we're waiting?"





I will be visiting 
Bleubeard & Elizabeth for
T Tuesday, and I'm
joining in for the 
shenanigans...how about you?

  4. I love your cups :) My lavender is newly planted this year and hasn't bloomed. I have hopes for next year. Happy T Tuesday!

  5. You have made quite the hit with your art tutorials, Dianne. I also love them, even if I can't draw. This week's tea cup and lavender are gorgeous. You always make great art! Thanks for sharing these beauties with us for T this Tuesday. Did you know you could turn lavender into tea? I didn't until I started reading about tisanes again!

  6. OMG!! I read all the Dragon's of Pern books years ago and would LOVE to re-read them. She is a wonderful story teller.

    I am going to plant lavender again next spring, it is one of my favorite fragrances and I don't know why ( or remember *grin*) I took mine out, of course that was years ago. But I do miss it.

    Great art, and so inspiring.

    Happy T-day

  8. Hello and Happy T Day Dianne! So happy to share your pretty PL cards on my blog today. I thought the T gang would love seeing them. They inspired me to get my pages done fast too, maybe you could send me some weekly and get my photos in quicker, lol. Just kidding friend, was nice to receive these beauties. They went together so well.

    Your drawing is amazing and just makes me smile! You do have a way with drawing and words and I'm glad you share them here with us. Hope your staying inside and cool during this looong heat wave we are having still. Can't wait for a bit of cool down. Have a good week! Hugs!

  10. I have rarely ever re-read a book, to be honest. But I have re-watched a few movies--and have two I watch every Christmas. These are the most charming and delicate little pieces of art! Have a wonderful week and Happy T-Day! :)

  11. Your tea cup and book drawing is wonderful and you have me swooning over your lavender picture too!
    What a gift you have to be able to sketch what you see and delight us all along the way.
    I did something this year that I have never done and that was not trimming back our lavender which blooms in June here in VA (the variety I have anyway). Just today I got out there and whacked off some of the spent blooms...those poor forgotten stems! Maybe a bird or two got to enjoy them...yup that's my story and I'm stickin to it ;-)
    Thank you for sharing your always lovely artwork and Happy T Day oxo

  13. Your post encompasses three of my favorite things: reading, drawing, and T-Day!

    Anne McCaffrey was great. I haven't read any of her books in a long time now, but for awhile my husband and I were following along with the Acorna series. I should pick them up again.
