Watercoloring

I love watercolors. The pen will always be my first love, but I've been smitten by the lush and forgiving nature of watercolors lately.

When it comes to painting, I'm an impatient person. I want results right away and I can't stand making mistakes. I'm not normally like this and sometimes I wonder if I've avoided painting for so long because it brings out my less endearing qualities. But watercolors, they are so gentle and kind and vibrant. Even the mistakes look like intentional swaths of color. This one below was full of "oopsie" moments (apparently I say that a lot since I hear Kumi muttering her version "oopie" all the time)...but I'm happy with the end result. I heart watercolors.

OK, so I know that the blog is looking weirder and weirder each day. For the life of me I can't seem to get the Movable Type template code to do what I want it to do. The first time I installed it, it took me months to figure out. Now that I'm trying to upgrade, I'm sure it'll take me several more months before I get it to look the way I want it...sigh. There must be an easier way...
