Since this week's subject is The Muse, and mine seems to mostly come in the form of animals or " totems ", I will bring back the most recent example of that via the "kissing deer petroglyph" with the bluebird that just "flew in unexpectedly"! An older example is a painting I did entitled " Ramona " ( after the Ramona play in Hemet Ca) . Its probably too hard to see this here but in the original (20x30) there are all kinds of little "spirits" that show up in the background if you use your imagination and they are sometimes different for everyone who looks!!!Thats what makes watercolors so FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your watercolor is beautiful. You are right, you can see so many different things in your painting. It is like looking at clouds and trying to make shapes.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. The little visitors that appear in watercolors are reason I use it. Love the Romona painting. I have a thing about petroglyphs too
