There is in all things an inexhaustible sweetness and purity,
a silence that is a foundation of action and joy.
~Thomas Morton
I have been working on seeing the purity in all around me. Even in the city, even in people. Each morning I start the day by listing things I am grateful for. This has been a beautiful practice, instead of the first thing I reach for being something connected to the internet...
Having such a simple image here might help us notice the sweetness!
This painting:
I have been playing with watercolour and what it can do- the way two colours that meet can mix, and the way that sometimes it dries in a unique pattern or colour that you didn't anticipate. I began this flower as a lotus, but really it reminds me more of a dragon fruit like shape. Either way, the colours are working for me!
PS We are back to being human- here in this pristine piece is a lovely spelling error. Well, I am learning a lot from this Creative Quote challenge- and not just about art!
