working on more batik watercolor; in the theme of my spine and
rules…really enjoying the process!

Seeing the light….
Is it really April? Hard to think this journey is nearing it’s completion…but this has set me on a path
of working on art daily..making it a practice that drives me. I find I have been creating more of the
batik watercolor pieces,…enjoying the process, and the excitement of what literally lies beneath!
Still painting…
I find the project rewarding, and frustrating…especially when time is short..or most likely poor planning!
I have front-loaded my days with art first, the rest of the day is much more mellow, and I feel like I have
accomplished something!
Spine and Rules…and progress!
Spine: Capture the colors of winter
Rule 1: Paint/draw at least 30 minutes a day
Rule 2: Use minimal transparent watercolors, pastels, melted paraffin wax and/or India ink.
Rule 3: Create simple compositions with a loose, less defined style.
Favorite season….most inspiring to me by far. To be outside, observing, taking pictures, moved by the shadows, sunlight on snow, and the pristine beauty of a fresh snowfall. Have not missed a day yet! It is fun to challenge your “fear” of trying new techniques and loosening up your style.
