study

Creation and play are the same word to me. Study becomes play when art is involved.

I love the saying "Chaos-where brilliant dreams are born.

Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos.

Before a brilliant person beging something great they must look foolish to the crowd."

I am not brilliant but i am good at chaos and foolishness...so maybe there is hope :)

Yesterday I was playing with an old drawing and worked up a small watercolor of a leaf..

then I spent most of this morning playing with the photo of it in on my PC

cropping... turning and cropping again...

and now I have one to work with for another painting...soon to be a bird.

My playing for the day.

time to play

Sometimes to loosen up and recharge I just have to play abit......

peacocks...fruit of the loom birds...I don't know but I felt better after putting this on paper.

There was no plan, just dipped the brush in paint and started...and this is what I got, and they made me smile, hope they put a smile on your face.

Now maybe I can get down to some serious painting.

One of this years goals was to paint every day...so far so good.

Sometimes they are just testing paint colors to see what they will do,

others are ones that are keepers to work up later.

this one is a keeper
