Day 13 - The red cup

DAY  13  -  THE RED CUP
Leslie Saeta's September Challenge
PENCIL AND ACRYLIC
ON TERRAS SKIN PAPER
6  1/2  X  9  1/2 INCHES
It's a small red cup my mother gave me many years ago and  there is a blue one also. They're supposed to be used for strong coffee, but I don't drink coffee anymore.  When I go out in the garden in the morning, I usually bring back a few flowers to put in it.  Today, it's time for  begonia and some petunias.

C'est une petite tasse rouge que ma mère m'a donnée il y a plusieurs années.  Il y en a une bleue aussi.  Elles servaient pour le café fort, mais je ne bois plus de café depuis longtemps.  Quand je vais au jardin le matin tôt, je ramène souvent une fleur ou deux que je dépose dans la tasse rouge. Aujourd'hui, c'est au tour de la fleur de bégonia et des pétunias.

Dear Helen catching up on your posts. This red cup looks like it a well treasured possession. Looks lovely with the accent of blue as well as the addition of pencil drawing. Choosing colors made me smile because I often spend time considering what colors are needed for my subjects. Love this one Helen. The two sisters has such a warm feel. Very sweet. Last but certainly not least your hydrangeas are so beautiful. You really caught the feel of light. So glad you are sharing friend. Hope you have a delightful day. Hugs!
