My new found passion in watercolor painting has begun to take presidence over blogging recently. I rush through all of the necessities of the day so that I hav e an hour for my painting.
So I went to class early yesterday to take advantage of some one on one time with my instructor so that she could critique my efforts for the week. I proudly lined up the products of my creative juices for her appraisal, sure that she would marvel at the quick progress I had made for one week. Well, at first there was silence, then the honest critique which I really did want to hear. She said, "go outside and look at the trees and see what they really look like".
I thought that I knew, but today on my run I really looked at the trees and saw what she was saying. Funny how you think you know something you just take for granted knowing, but when you take a look with a discerning eye a whole new world opens up to you.
So practice, practice, practice and maybe next week I'll amaze her with all that I learned in one week.
