Master-label

  A very kind woman recently remarked that I am a master of watercolor and for that kindness I am  truly thankful. But. I am concerned that the term 'master' carries with it an implication or indictment of finality, that in mastering something there is no longer anything in the medium to be discovered. One of the reasons that watercolor fascinates is the possibility of something new. Bob Ross spoke of  "happy accidents " and that happiness is something I look forward too.

I have, on occasion painted flowers and this is a favorite. The light is particularly nice on this piece and having not looked at this image for a bit I am reminded how much fun I had painting this.
