Mandarin with Blue Ground #2

i brought julian a cup of tea this afternoon and he said that the second mandarin was complaining about not having thermal underwear.

and while i'm at it, i fell in love with the first mandarin, but my crush on the second grew and grew the more i looked at it.

Do believe I'm with you, Ruth--the fetcher of tea on a cold day. Would imagine you are getting hammered w/ nasty weather as is the rest of Europe... Keep your-selves tied down, girl. Di PS.. love your portrait of yesterday!

no diane, we have a balmy and bizarre 18 degrees. we went to the truffle market in carpentras with the roof off!
