watching paint dry

welcome to paint party Friday... I haven't painted as much, but was inspired by some Spring buds

Oh lovely. I saw Valerie-Jael's pictures on her blog of white spring flowers so I said, that's it! I'm going to try painting white on white paper!  So out came the sketchbook. Inspired by my own photos and hers I started with a faint pencil sketch.

it's interesting how the look changes as you crop it

then on our evening walk, I said to dh, I don't have much to share for paintings. He said, well you've got a day...
I watched a video by creationsceecee, and of course mine came out quite different. She said focus on circles...

I loved painting circles with my wide flat brush, swirling into two pans at once, then onto the paper! Also used the finetec gold and silver metallic paints with round brush for accents. A black and white pen completed it but it seemed flat to me.
I added in the words, love goes around in a circular motion.

then I read a Quaker prayer, and in it were the words... you are enough... and .... you carry the divine in you.
Ahhhh a message I need to read

I signed up for a 5 day lesson by Thirsty for Art, on art therapy, I think you can just go sign up
 an excerpt:

And what makes art therapy different from just art-making?

• Art therapy is about the process, not the product (aka the result)
• Art therapy focuses on expressing emotions and healing our mind and body through the process
