Watercolor Tree |
During my "break from work" I was blessed with a loving husband, a cuddly puppy, and lovely house. Surrounded with people who build me up and inspire me, it is time to return.
I also discovered Pandora, which when opened, floods my life with new music and inspiration. On this blog I will include some of the artists and songs I have grown to love. They have more soul and more talent than most musicians on the radio. They need to be recognized and loved.
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to Ronald Jenkees's "Stay Crunchy" there are no words, and it's all done electronically. It has a good beat and if it doesn't get your foot tappin', then you need to turn up the volume! He is a very encouraging artist and he seems like a very down to earth guy.
Above, you see a painted tree. I broke out the water colors and decided to play around. I saw something on Pinterest that I wanted to try. It's no Monet, but I love it. It was a blast to create and having fun is primary in art. If you aren't having fun, then what's the point?
It's a catalyst of more things to come. Sometimes you need a bite to remember what you enjoyed so much.
Enjoy!
I'm so glad you decided to resurrect your blog! I blogged a long time ago and feel like I took a much needed sabbatical, as well. I think it also helped me to narrow down my focus and figure out what I wanted my message to really be. I also love your watercolor tree. As a young and insecure artist I was really intimidated by color and stuck to sketching. One art teacher in a not-so-well-funded Little Rock public high school helped me to understand and embrace color and all of its possibilities...and the first way she did it was with watercolor. Because God is the original artist, I believe we tap into something deep and spiritual when we imitate that process. Keep at it! I will definitely be reading.
