Geneva on the Lake, OH – Rocks at Sunset – Summer 2016
Reflecting on the day
And contemplating life
A kaleidoscope of color
Evoking variegated memories
Discovering along the way
Acquiescent acceptance
Sometimes distancing ourselves
to ultimately save ourselves
Healing comes in waves
Crashing, splashing, breaking
Sometimes hitting the rocks
Other times reflecting the light
Remembering to pause
Remembering to cherish
Time spent reflecting
Time spent sharing
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Today’s super quick little watercolors were made the same time as my little sailboat yesterday during my time at Girlfriend Camp (#GFCGeneva2016) this past week.
They are really just experiments with colors mingling and using inexpensive Sakura Koi Watercolor Field Travel set (which, by the way have really sold me on the case to buy artist quality watercolors for artist quality results. I’m not very happy with these, but I did have fun playing with limited supplies while away. I really should have left them without painting flowers on top and done something abstract.
I didn’t want to miss out on a single day of #WorldWatercolorMonth, however, so this is all I have to offer today.
I get to go wedding dress shopping with my soon-to-be daughter-in-law and her mom and sisters today! What a great event to come home to!
Happy Saturday, and Happy Weekend!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
In honor of our last day at Geneva on the Lake for #GFCGeneva2016, my watercolor for #WorldWatercolorMonth is a super quick little sailboat on the lake done with my inexpensive Sakura Koi Watercolor Travel Field Set.
I painted a few backgrounds late one night and then added the boat the next day since the random mingling of dark blue and teal reminded me of our beautiful view this past week of the lake.
Come sail away with me… to the lake… or the ocean… or the sea.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
I’m at “Girlfriend Camp” (#GFCGeneva2016) this week.
Yesterday we went on a little winery tour.
We had some wine flights alfresco at one winery.
And guess who had the red one amidst the fruity whites?
And by the third stop, we were getting our “wine shine” on.
Okay – maybe the guy at the table next to us at the second stop said we were already there at Stop #2….
But my sweet Bub told him I don’t need to have wine to shine. (See why I love her!?!)
The next evening was Prosecco Sangria on our balcony for happy hour.
So today’s #WorldWatercolorMonth painting is
Red Red Wine…
Goes to my head…..
makes me forget…
(the rest of the lyrics!)
Which just so happens to be the “ring tone” on Bubby’s cell phone for us three chicas!
(wonder why that would be – eh?)
Wishing you a day to forget the bad
and remember the good.
Cherish the moments.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
