My mother loves flowers, and years ago she got a beautiful china dinnerware set with a lovely floral pattern. This week I've been practicing teacups and saucers, which is a subject I've been meaning to get to for a while. I've been putting it off because all the delicate little flowers and leaves can be fiddly to paint. Frankly I was intimidated. The dilemma was to keep the watercolor fresh while still indicating the details. But then I remembered that every painting pretty much presents this very same problem. So I decided to give it a go. After all, what's the worst that could happen, a lousy painting? Screw it, just do it!
And you thought that painting was a peaceful, relaxing pastime, didn't you? Well, for some of us it involves taking a risk. Both to paint and then to share our work — triumphs, blunders, and all. To expose our vulnerable parts to the world. But most of all to ourselves.
Dear friends and followers, you help sustain me with the courage to keep going! Thanks for visiting.
