A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!
W & N Watercolour on Arches 300gsm - 10" x 7"
I was feeling a bit down the other day and decided the best remedy is to paint.
Shhh… germination in progress. Can you hear the swish of the brush, dipping, dipping into water, gathering colour from the palette? That's the process of planting flowers in my watercolour garden. *•.¸ðŸŒ¿¸.•*

Gone to the forest
“This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. 'That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women.' There is my creed.”

I love your imagery of the dark forest of your soul. And the painting fits in so beautifully, Maree. Thank you for sharing this.
