Watercolour Magic!

 Leopard Stage 2

I am absolutely loving painting this subject. One of the most important lessons I learned in 2009 was not to rush. I have learned to slow down at last. Life isn't a race and the joy in a painting while it develops is often  too beautiful to be missed. Each stage and brushstroke is magical in its own right.  Imagine taking a long journey and missing all the wonderful sights along the way. Just going from A to B but not having the time to notice landmarks or gorgeous scenery.

Every single brushstroke tells a story. Working minus a preliminary sketch it is vital for me to think  very carefully about each one.

My painting is developing but already I am falling in love with the forms of colour taking shape.

 Life is great!
