Another contender. This has more pink in the background than is showing here. I used my Sakura Koi Water Brush. Sea Dean reminded me. I bought it, because I just thought it was so cool, just had to have one. It comes in three sizes, I think I choose the medium.

When I got it home and opened the package. I felt the bristles, and thought there is no way you could have much control. It feels worse than the cheap brushes you get in a kiddie watercolor set. So I sat it aside and forgot about it. I figured the next time I traveled I would take it with me.

Sea asked me if I had tried it, and so of course I had to. And I love it. It holds color well, and cleans easily. I just wiped it once or twice on a damp paper towel, and then dipped it in clean water, but I don’t think I really needed to. I did not see any color coming off in the water.

Now I am excited for the next road trip.
I can paint in the car.
I can paint near.
I can paint far.

I can paint by the pool,
with my handy, cool tool!

OK, that was bad. I am tired and it is 11:57. time to post and link up!

By taking the time to stop and appreciate who you are
and what you’ve achieved – and perhaps learned
through a few mistakes, stumbles and losses –
you actually can enhance everything about you.
Self-acknowledgment and appreciation
are what give you the insights and awareness
to move forward
toward higher goals and accomplishments.
Jack Canfield

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
Michelangelo

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso

At the start of the challenge, I did not have a theme in mind. I joked about doing a series of “series”. It actually has worked out that way. I have five, possibly six, collections.

Like so many challenge participants, I was beginning to feel producing a painting a day was a daunting task. This weekend, for some reason, I was on a roll. I finished four pieces. I work small, and a couple of them were fairly simple. That helped.

I am still painting each day, to finish up the series I have started. But oh what a relief it is, to have a bit of breathing room. Whew!
