Sunday Sketches - Moonlight Tea


These tea pictures are becoming a bit like a diary!  I drew this today after Will and I went out for a walk last night to see if we could get a glimpse of the Supermoon.  There were patchy clouds but it was very windy, so they were rolling across the sky at quite a pace.  As we watched our patience was rewarded as the clouds parted and the moon beamed down at us.  Seeing it so huge and bright was worth the wait - I love the moon!

I'm linking this back to Sunday Sketches.  I like this new habit I'm forming of spending a couple of hours in a coffee shop somewhere, drawing something to participate with.  It's a pretty cool way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

      Thanks Sharon! Ooh, I look forward to seeing those photos if you post them up. It was way too cloudy here last night - luckily we got that glimpse on Saturday :)

    I love your romanic inspiration and interpretation for this piece. The teacup design is gorgeous, and the way you incorporated the super moon was brilliant. Blessings!
