Splashing water and paint
and creating something loose and lovely
and open to interpretation.
It has been a while since I’ve given myself
the luxury and gift of time to watercolor
with all the busyness of the holidays followed by the loss of my brother.
And what a lovely gift it was for me
to take just 15 or 20 minutes
and lose myself in the process of creativity.
It’s a wonderful thing to take time for yourself
and do something you love, because when you do,
you are a better person to be around.
Thanks to Andrew Geeson for his wonderful
inspiration of loose watercolor painting
that nudged me to do this.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Beautiful piece of work 🙂

That feeling of peace sometimes gets lost with all the rushing around. Sometimes I think we appreciate it more when it comes back around to us again. Beautiful, Jodi.

Dear Jodi, so sorry to hear about your brother. Your painting is lovely as usual, I try to use watercolour but I don’t have talent for it, maybe is the paper, I see you are using some special paper. Hugs and love to you!
