The joy of “no work”

 

 

Believe it or not I love it when the Luciole takes a break from landscaping when things are slow! Ok the fact that money entries are frozen for a while is a fact… quickly forgotten!

In the meantime, the true fun begins.

I paint, I splash papers with colors.  Images are coming to life under the strokes of a wet brush loaded with a rich mix of watercolor… OOOOPS! I am even surprised to see the result on paper as it keeps mixing by itself at uncontrollable and creative speed on wet areas… I love it so much! Being surprised by your own so ‘thought controlled painting’ reflecting a precise idea you may have had? Forget it! The paint dictates with its own will the final result. You are only its instrument! Give it a try and you will see!

Mike plays too and the garden gets more weeds and the house receives another layer of ethereal dust. In the meantime, we are alive, all senses awaken and believe me we have a lot more fun than with many of our contrived projects!
