"Its a lovely life"
watercolors and pitt pen on 5x7 journal page
As you can see I am still having fun with watercolors. Most of you know by now my need for instant gratification. And that is some of what watercolors do for me. I saw this image in my mind when I was in bed last night trying to fall asleep. That is always the time when my mind races, ideas appear, and words come to life. Of course the same thing tends to happen while I am driving! And always when I am not near a pen or too lazy to get out of bed and record any of it.
But luckily I was able to recall this image when I woke this morning. Although it didn't come out exactly the way I hoped (I need to work on my flower skills!) I do like it. I think I need to get a bigger journal though, the 5x7 is just not enough room for me especially when I love to smear and get messy with this medium. You can see the flowers are just busting out of the edges. lol
I am sharing this over at Paint Party Friday today. Won't you come by and join us? :)
I love this!! Love the pink!
ReplyDeleteI like these flowers just as they are...they work with the drips. If the flowers were any more structured then I don't think the drips would work...so you just went with what intuition told you to do and it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling of having ideas pop up at the "wrong" time...glad you were able to remember most of this one!
And yes to a bigger journal...lots of room to play!
I love the art and the creativeness. . . I can't wait to see more art by you. Blessings, Janet PPF

Love the colors and the drips add so much to the piece! Lovely! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers do look like they can barely be contained by the page. The drips add to that feeling, like there is so much life and color, it can't be contained.
ReplyDeleteI love this Cathy! The pink is so beautiful with the drips and other colors - gorgeous. I always get ideas as I am trying to go to sleep too. My mind just swirls around...I try to write down what I can remember. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the fun you are having with watercolors. So glad you shared.
