We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special. Stephen Hawking
I am just a child who has never grown up. I still keep asking these ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions. Occasionally, I find an answer. Stephen Hawking
I had a name for this. Not very original. Karin Naylor mentioned it in her comment on my piece yesterday. These shapes may not be very original either. I found a couple of small paintings I did last year, and I have a feeling I saw something I liked, and tried to learn how to recreate it.
These are fun though. I have a feeling there will be more.

I hope you are not getting tired of these experiments. I seriously think, I could paint with just these two colors for a year, and not get bored. Prussian blue gouache, and Sap green watercolor.
This makes me think of deep-sea diving. On my bucket list. You know, the part where you are falling through the water, surrounded by bubbles and ripples. Or maybe you are swimming through an algae patch.
Seaweed is an algae. Did you know that? I didn’t. I always loved playing with the rubbery seaweed on the beach. Sturdy stems, textured “leaves” and interesting “grapes”. Just looked it up, the leaves are blades, and the grapes are bladders, or gas bladders. Sounds a lot less interesting now.
My dad and brother and I once ate seaweed soup at a Chinese restaurant. In Colorado. It was my idea, and it was horrible. I am guessing it was because the seaweed was not fresh. I eat sushi, and the seaweed on the rolls is always good. Maybe it just needs to be eaten cold.
I am really enjoying Leslie’s challenge this time. I don’t know why, but I am less stressed. Except for staring at a couple of blank canvases, the ideas have flowed much more easily. I am going to count that as an improvement. Loosening up, and going with the flow more.
I hope everyone taking part in the challenge is enjoying it just as much. Looking at all the amazing work being produced, my guess is that they are.
