Blue Reflections.
Baby boys turned into men.
The future in my granddaughter’s eyes.
The color of the ice caps over Mount Denali.
The color of the sea in St. Marten.
Scoring Boardwalk and Park Place in Monopoly.
Moonlight and starlight in the forest.
Dipping soft sable hair into cerulean and indigo watercolor.
Blue reflections creating magic.
I so enjoyed creating this watercolor painting! I splashed a bit and walked away for a while. I came back and added some more, and walked away again. And then I did it again. It was so exciting to come back and see what magic happened, and I so love how it turned out. When I look at it, I think blue…. and memories flood my heart.
And I smile.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Beautiful blues! I love your painting.

The painting is poetry, glorious reflections and a Auruoa Borealis night sky. The poetry is a nostalgic reflection down memory lane. Very powerful piece. In both there is magic.

Really, Jodi!! 💙 And DO paint it over and over! I know that when I paint a subject more than once, I learn SO MUCH!
I can feel your passion in your painting – especially reading your poem. I suggest you include your feelings when you sell your art. As it will speak to many others too! ✨💕

Blue-tiful painting and reflections! What you have created with a brush, two shades of blue paint, and water on paper is beyond fantabulous! Thank-you! P.S. Benjamin, being as predictable about color as I am about food, says : “It is a pretty blue picture, can my Jodi do orange too?”

This is absolutely professional, dear Jodi! It has a dreamy, early evening feeling. Maybe “tones of twilight” would suit it. See, this is a mark of a beautiful piece of art when I get to naming it! Lol 💞
