We are enjoying interpreting ideas or descriptions from books in watercolour, in an abstract way - aiming for beauty in colour rather than perfection or likeness to something.
We have been cutting up some of the paintings and using them for note cards, like so many others before us. I love that my "to do" lists for each day are now so pretty! People sometimes ask where they came from when they spot lists in my hands while I'm grappling around for change, library tickets etc.
I've even found myself sitting down to paint by myself when Cameron isn't interested. It's so relaxing and I like to keep a nice pile of note cards ready - I'm a perpetual list maker!
These particular ones were inspired by a description in a book about rays of sunshine underwater.
