With the lamp, I was starting quite traditionally, and then just went crazy. With the shadow shot, I was jogging and had to stop when I spied this scene - it was an amazing moment for me. And for the watercolor, my mind was freed by distraction, so there was no planning, no inhibitions - I just responded to each mark as I laid it down. It is wonderful that inspiration can happen in so many ways. We artists are truly blessed.

I have gotten a very positive response from this little picture, and I hope to take something of it with me to later works, if only that colors talk! <br /><br />I was a bit timid as a lad and trusted adults implicitly. It is only as an adult that I have learned what a lost conflicted bunch adults are. If I had it to do again I'd be a rebel like you. <br /><br />You understate your skills in watercolor - you do things I can never do. This watercolor is almost a doodle.

However, acknowledging the source and understanding your motivations is more than a start- it's a grand beginning of a wonderful journey.<br />The shadow shot of the elongated stance in front of a bidirectional arrow says you are expanding as an artist.
