Flow

Woodland Strawberries...a watercolor sketch
Arriving at "flow" in any activity is an optimum experience. Things seem effortless and pleasing. After finishing the strawberry jam card, I looked around for another subject..........woodland strawberries were climbing my rock garden so I thought I would have a look-see. After grabbing a bunch, I laid them on a piece of white paper on the picnic table. At first glance, the set-up seemed quite complex and the relationships tangled..........that is the kind of problem-solving that interests me. This subject was painted in a leather-bound watercolor book given to me by my son. All in all, I had a quality experience and a wonderful afternoon. Pressure's off in weekend painting.
