A Watercolor journey!

Can you relearn something?

Once upon a time when I was a little girl, I loved to paint. I filled pages after pages with mountains, rivers, trees, flowers and deep blue skies. Opening my watercolor box, dipping my brush into water, swirling the colors - I lost track of time.....

Time passed. Other things became more important. I stopped painting. Every minute was too important to waste on trivial pursuits. There were so many more urgent matters to pay attention to, so much to achieve and a long way to go.

Some more time passed. Life changed. By then, some things had worked out and some had not. One day the watercolors found their way back into my life. I had totally forgotten how to use them! With a wet brush, I nervously picked up a color and slowly and shyly I worked my way through it - one stroke, one wash, one piece of art - at a time.

So yes, you CAN relearn anything. I am learning to get in touch with the child within, the part that loved to paint but had forgotten how.

A tale of two suns

Blue Lotus

Fairy lights

The sun was setting and I couldn't take my eyes off the ground, from the little flowers - twinkling in the light of the dusk, like fairy lights...

A Reading Surprise

My library has this rule - do not scribble on the pages of any book. Sometimes however it is really difficult especially when I come across an interesting phrase or an idea. Then off I scamper to hunt for a piece of paper and pen to scribble down and in that process I usually end up getting distracted. There goes my reading time.😒

This morning while reading I came across a beautiful phrase. I decided to note it down and just as I got up from my comfy chair, I realized that it was my "personal" book. I can't express the happiness and contentment I felt at that moment. I could mark that phrase, in fact anything else I wanted to in that book - with the brightest boldest pencil tip I could find!!! 🖉
