| A Distraction |
Oh man, I had to get away from that last painting with something that didn’t need to make any sense!
I went out into the backyard garden with the watercolors determined to get away to a far away place. Planted out under the crabapple tree are these late blooming, salmon azaleas among other flowers and potted planters.
Twenty minutes was all I wanted and I did it. Done. I really didn’t care what I came away with as far as a finished product. Back in the saddle people! A little too washy in some spots, but who cares anyway? I mixed up some pleasing colors, threw them down on the paper with no objective other than the process of painting something, anything.
A little secret: on the other half of this paper was the dance party painting. It took all I had not to paint right over it. Would have been some kind of satisfying though.
Some Distractions are quite lovely. 🙂
So pretty; love your watercolors! You’re right, sometimes it’s just important to finish a project, especially when you’ve been away from it for a while. You can’t just “get your feet wet,” You have to jump (or dive in). Congratulations!
so… pretty, funny how it comes so much easier when there are no expectations!
Lovely one, Dora.
