🎨 I have always loved watercolors. Whenever I find myself in an art gallery I am drawn to the paintings. I find the colors and patterns bleeding into one another as being a cathartic experience. I relate them to my own feelings running into one another—the fear bleeding into the joy, the pain bleeding into encouragement. Life is a myriad of contradictions.
🎨 Something happens inside of me when I dip that brush into the bowl of water and generously daub it over the paper to prepare it for magic. And then allowing the colors to drip from my brush onto the bare paper and watching something lovely being created. All the colors begin swirling together into a flower or leaf.
🎨 Since I started dabbling in my own watercolor journey, I have found a significant release from stress, anxiety, pain from my past traumas and abuse, and I have been more at peace.
🎨 My only regret is I that I didn’t pick up a brush many, many years ago.
