Ribbons Of Paint

Posted on April 25, 2017 | 13 Comments

Sometimes I just like to swirl my paintbrush around with watercolor in my art journal. No thinking involved… just playing with color:

Yesterday, I didn’t have much time but I still wanted to DO something! So I created this haiku over my ribbons of paint:

I remember using scissors to create ribbons for wrapped gifts before store bought bows became popular.  “Zip!!” And curls appeared like magic!

Wishing you a day with happy memories!

Cheers!  🙂

    Sometimes I like to create simple pages like that so I will have ready made backgrounds for journaling or to add future art to. Love them! I love your haiku!

    Why not just go with the flow? It’s often the best. Lovely painting and words.
