I wish I was more of an artist.
I took four years of Artistics in high school, but even that was barely enough to scratch the surface of the things I wish I knew.
My favourite medium is watercolour.
It's more than just a damp horsehair brush rubbed against the caked colour pallets.
It's something deeper...richer...more powerful.
There's more to a watercolour painting than first meets the eye.
The colours run, blend, combining together into something far more than the artist could ever have originally anticipated.
That's why my heart races at the sight of a watercolour canvas. You can't always plan ahead. You can't always see the future.
I'm blessed to have a watercolour life.
A life that is more than what I can see at first glace...beautifully composed by the most incredibly talented Artist this world has ever known.
I'm a canvas.
Cover me in watercolour.
I really think that everyone should have watercolors, magnetic poetry, and a harmonica. ~The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I just did some watercolor painting today. I love it a lot, too. :)
ReplyDelete:) love it! and perks is one of my favorite books.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE watercolor!! Seeing it AND doing it. :) I'm gonna work on some watercolor postcards today!
ReplyDeleteI took a couple watercolor classes when I was much younger. I loved it and had a pretty decent knack to it too. I wish I had been able to stick with it. You're so right about the analogy. It's not always predictable. I think that's one thing I loved about it...how the colors would run together. And yeah, it's just like life. I love these little bits of your heart that you share with us everyday. :) It's really special.
ReplyDeleteYour words make me want to grab a paintbrush. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right. Life may not be perfect, but it can be beautiful - just like a watercolor painting :)
