When my good friend Stephanie Barrow throws down a challenge, I can’t help but take it up.
OK, Steph. This year I’m taking the watercolor plunge, trying something new to keep on building those new neural pathways for a healthy brain.
Got me some Inktense watercolor pencils, a cool little water brush thingie, a book for messing around in and fresh inspiration.
Going slow. Starting with just understanding what the colors are and how they blend.
And for going forward, despite lack of skill or knowledge, I’ll keep in mind this quote from the wondrous artist Georgia O’Keefe: I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I’ve never let it keep me from a single thing that I wanted to do.
