Starting another new work in progress on cradled wood panel. It’s fun working on a different surface, with a slight change in media (transparent watercolor ground, instead of white), seeing how the materials behave, how it changes the line quality.
I also love the critter that appeared, frolicking across the grass!

This word started popping up in my art a few years ago, around the time when it started popping up more in my life.
For way too long I’d said no way too often. No to my art. No to self-compassion.
I thought it was a way to get stuff done, a route to the satisfaction of achievement, which would lead to happiness. Instead I found the opposite.
The route to joy is yes. Which often requires us to say no, but isn’t that the irony of life?
Where can you be a better bodyguard to the big yesses in your life?

I think this one is ready for varnishing! Needs a title, though. 8″x8″ watercolor ground, ink, watercolor on cradled wood panel. #TitleMe #originalart #abstract #mixedmedia #watercolor #livingacreativelife #fullcolorlife #dailypainter #dailypainting #creative365

Trying something new, and feeling giddy about it: transparent watercolor ground on a cradled *wood* panel! It looks a bit white here, because the ground is still wet. I’m excited to see what happens when it dries, and when I start adding color!! #originalart #abstract #watercolorground #ink #intuitivepainting #newtechnique #livingacreativelife #squee #workinprogress #wip #artistsofinstagram
