VIOLETViolet one of the Viviva Colorsheets purples, is a unique color. It has a bit of a randomness in the way it lays down, depending on the location of the dip you make onto the sheet with your water laden brush. Often it is truly violet, but in some situations it reports back as an amethyst or dusky gray. The inconsistency doesn't bother me, it adds interest, but it is difficult to control. In the case of this rose, and through no fault of the paint, but entirely the fault of the artist, I lost control in a big way. When I first began this challenge I committed to posting whatever I painted each day. I am posting this, and I am trying to be okay with putting it out there for all to see. I am still learning and I hope I never stop.

SOUL“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you. Archives
