Day 12

A perfectly ordinary watercolor sketch. There are some surprising things going on in the sky. Interesting enough to make this redeemable. I would feel comfortable sending this as a postcard. Haha.

Today I started three small canvas pieces, and 3 small watercolors. N-o-t-h-i-n-g is working. I’ve been tired all day. Unable to focus. Easily distracted. Not giving up though. Dang it. I started this at 10 pm. Better late than never ‘ey. Haha.

The desert is a natural extension
of the inner silence of the body.
Jean Baudrillard

Deserts are full of sand and winds are full of air,
both are full of something but both look quite empty
and when they get to pair it’s easy to see they are almighty.

Joy and sorrow are inseparable…
together they come and when one sits alone with you… remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Well! Well! Well!
This is wonderful.
No one told me it was like this!

One great thing about abstract art is that it often looks great when seen from different angles. It’s like getting 2 for 1! I rotated this several times and decided I still liked it best as it was painted. What do you think? And why?

Again, I am inspired by Hiroshi Matsumoto. His use of color. The marriage between warm, rusty earth, and soft pinkish buff. I loved this before the addition of Turquoise. I do think it adds a pop of light and juxtaposition.
