I decided to use this day for finishing a few watercolors. Before I begin any new projects, I thought it would be time well spent to complete a few. I have only put a small dent in the pile of beginnings.
I love BEGINNING!
The start of a new watercolor is the most fun for me. I love the splash and splatter of fresh paint on a sparkling white piece of watercolor paper. The spontaneous mix of the colors and the water is the MOST exciting part. To complete a painting, I have to settle down, THINK and create something. That can be the difficult part ... there are so many directions that the painting could take!
I posted two of the finished watercolors on my etys site but this one of the yellow iris still needs a bit more work. That can be the dragging point of the entire painting process ... when is it "done"?
Ah, but that is another blog topic!

ReplyDeleteSorry I have been lax in posting--going too many directions in my "Hop-Along-Cassidy" condition! HA!
I love starting things and like you, when I get to that serious thinking point, the mind tends to wander ELSEWHERE.....though I have found on my box canvas pieces, if I can be left alone, I usually can get them doen because they encompass so much, each part is like a *new* piece.
Do we have artists ADD???? LOL!!!
