Painting


So many similarities
between writing and painting

the white canvas
the choices
the blending and mixing
the perspective
the style

the freedom

. . 

Sometimes when I am weary 
of words
paint

. . 

Do you paint?

    1. They are not yet 'paintings' -- they are, erm, sketches and dabbles. I'm learning.

  6. I wrote a blog post comparing my painting to my writing--I start with a foundation and gradually work all around the painting (novel) to add layers and depth.

  7. I paint in bits...and express creativity in knitting, sewing, and beading when the paint does not come out as I expected. I do have the same watercolors

  8. Your photo sure makes me want to paint! I really draw (sketch & dabble) more than paint, but have the urge to explore more. I love your joy, painting or words. Speaking of dabbles: Did you receive an envelope recently full of dabbly stripes? I fear the stamp & postmark got obscured by alll the color & maybe they didn't deliver it...

    1. How funny -- I think of you as equally painting and drawing. And yes, I received the beautiful stripey envelope with glassware of bella colori. Luv. Molto grazie. xx

  9. Sometimes, I worry if the colors are right... a lot. But I figure as long as I'm putting down colorful words, I can always paint over it.
