Pair Of

Hunting for a "pair" was pretty easy for me.  I like painting mugs and red and blue ones are a plus.  We got these mugs when we moved into this house.  I wanted to get Fiesta Ware but it is expensive so I ended up with Main Stay from Walmart.  Today I would have splurged but we were  buying so much then.  I try not to buy too much "made in China" but it is difficult.  We laugh when we see these mugs in the Hallmark movies from about that time.

I get sidetracked so easy, sorry  I dug the cups out of the back of the cupboard  and set them up for pastel painting/sketching.

Number 4 pair - a pair of mugs/cups.  About an hour on a wiped off piece of paper.  I think the paper had mugs on it before as well.

For Scavenger Hunt from Life 122 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-122-jul-14-jul-22.7060/

Here is my setup.  I really need to clean and put my pastels away.  Sigh.....

We had some horseback riders out on the trail yesterday or the day before.

We got about an inch of rain this morning!  Yay.

Yay for the rain!!! The forecast here yesterday was for strong storms. They missed us down here on the south shore...we didn't even get rain...just the humidity.

Love the mugs. You do so well with the brilliant colors of the red and blue. They made me smile. :)

Joan, thanks, you made me smile, too. I do like red and blue. We had another rain shower this am about 3 that left .03 of an inch. Better than none.
