Process Doesn’t Mean Perfect

Taking advantage of the momentum, I finished another watercolor painting this week. Imagine that? I had just wrapped up one work when I decided I should just keep going and start the next one. 

The paints were out, the other painting was free from the watercolor block, I was there with wet paint brushes, why not?
I’m not even going to start with the whole thing about whether or not this is a good work. Forget it. 
Process, baby, process. Start the work. Keep going until you finish the work. 
Push it. Crush it. Process.

Wanting to get it out of the way quickly I didn’t even spend time with the photograph. One shot and I was out of there. It’s a little shadowy on the upper right corner, which could possibly be my head blocking the light, but let’s ignore that, shall we?

Not a Wordless Wednesday

The temperature in New York this week is in the nineties. Today the thermostat in my car read 101F. People all around are wilting.

Get with the program people! We live in New York and this is the summertime, the BEST weather we’re going to have so enjoy it now because around the corner “you know what” is lurking!

It’s a four letter word beginning with an “S” and ending with a “W”.

Just dwell on that for a moment while I go about my business.

There is no way I’m going to complain about the heat. Nope. I am loving the heat and humidity. That is a fact. The summer has to be the best season for all the obvious reasons and painting is a big one. I can move it all outside and enjoy the weather. The sun, the scent of flowers and grass, the colors of it all, everything is just beautiful.

That said, I worked on, and finished, another watercolor painting.
