"First it is an intention. Then a behavior. Then a habit. Then a practice. Then a second nature. Then it is simply who you are." Brendon Burchard
I've been trying to paint a little bit every day. For now I'm back to painting simple shapes because it's so mindfully mindless and I need to build some confidence again. I'm also looking for pages in my watercolor journal that need a companion. I did the page on the left a while back....and over the last couple of days I painted the one on the right. And added a few fabric swatches.
It doesn't matter that it's wonky...and super simple.Dotty commented on yesterday's post that she experienced an inside moment of awe while she was cutting into cucumber. Truly: total miracle, that cucumber!...she said. I couldn't agree more....cucumbers are AWEsome!
And that got me thinking about my watercolor.
So I added some onion rings to some of the purple spaces in on my watercolor page....and I like it so much more!
o m g, MaryAnn! AWE. everything about this post, from its opening quotation to THOSE ONION RINGS in your watercolor journal—the magic of synapses firing and the mind's making connections. AWE.
ReplyDeleteWell that's a glowing response! Thanks Dotty....you always make me smile.
DeleteJ'adore the red onion slices. They add a beautiful touch. 🩷
ReplyDeleteI thought so too Roseanne. The minute I saw them sliced on the board I saw them on the watercolor.
