Being More intentional

For the last month, I have dedicated my time to watercolor painting, seeking, learning and trying new techniques in this somewhat unforgiving medium.

Becoming more intentional, purposeful with each application.  Allowing the brush and paint to create each individual shape and  the shapes within.  Applying warm over cool, cool colors over warm.  The balance between the two.  Leaving some things undone and how much to render.  Allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks.

I have discovered new colors, creating more pigment and contrast within a painting.  Here are a few steps in progress of the above painting.  A just for fun watercolor study on 140 lb watercolor paper.

By seeking, learning and breaking things down, we can be more deliberate and intentional in what we create.  

Until next time..

That's just the way it is:

Everything happens all at once or nothing happens at all.

We just returned from a wonderful and relaxing two week vacation on Navarre Beach, Florida.

The sunsets were spectacular each night and the days were filled with beach walks and plenty of sunshine.

While in Florida,  Somerset Apprentice, spring addition was released.  I knew my art work was chosen for the issue, but much to my surprise it also made the cover!  What an honor and feeling so blessed!

After coming home, I had to tweak a few things for my upcoming classes.
