Attitude.  Willingness to view a circumstance untied to outcome.  I needed a new perspective and fresh way to see this watercolor challenge.

Watercolor Garden Sunburst

I may not have been so keen on this watercolor painting‘s original format and design when it first made its appearance last week.  It was a rectangular format at first, which didn’t do anything at all for the design.

But with a little thought and some creative alterations, things are looking brighter.

 

 

Cropped tighter,  and now in a square it creates a much more dynamic design.

Its fresh.  Its bold.  Its direct.

I like it.

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

  7. Yup. This one’s got attitude. It IS fresh and bold and boy we could all use extra triple doses of that! Confident brush strokes. No fiddling. Take notice, I am here, hear me ROAR! This should be on everyone’s alarm clocks! *waves magic wand to make it so* ❤

    1. thank you so much! it might sound odd… I know, but I really have found with painting, success depends on what kind of attitude I have that day. You have a great week too!

    1. yes… i thought about that! then wondered about the tonal value ratio and balance of the entire image. the outskirts being SO very dark already. it left me unsure that a dark centre was a perfect choice.. so, i left it alone. for now. lol
      thanks, good eye, good call on that !!
