I could take this painting to another stage of completion...but I'm going to leave it alone instead. I don't know about you...but my mood can change from day to day...I tend to live in the present and can be quite impulsive. Maybe that is a luxury of an artist. I went to the park , and just sat and listened and looked, and went back to the studio and just painted anything... and it developed into something tangible...which I thought I would use as a base for tomorrow's painting session. But the next morning I looked at it , and just left it alone. It had a life and energy from a passing moment. I like the freshness and spontaneity...just an impulsive watercolor. Maybe I'm regressing back into my own childhood...but the making of this picture was such a joyful and pleasurable experience...the way I felt in kindergarten...no pre-conceived notion or critical approach....Just Play. Sometimes you have to ask yourself why you started drawing and painting in the first place and reconnect with that.
