Accidental Watercolors

I wrote about coming upon some accidental art quite a while ago and I find myself in the situation once again. Sometimes if you open up your eyes, you see more than the obvious, more of the moment. 

I am trying without much success to find my niche in the world of watercolors. But where do I see something worth sharing? The palette! The place I mix in abandon, not a care in the world...it should be a sign for me to put down the pencil, forget the initial drawing and just paint.

These washes have so much life! I am not an abstract artist at all but if I could find the place where I belong in this medium it would be a blessing.

Someday, I will show my adventures in watercolor; past, present & future. For now, I will continue to experiment and enjoy the ride!

Accidental Art

If you read my "other interests and work" page on this blog side bar you will see that I am a Trader Joe's sign artist by day. All other times I am just an artist, looking for inspiration and what have you that seems worthy of my designer eye.  I have been watching the "accidental art" that has developed from multiple spray paint jobs at work and OH MY GOD! I absolutely love it!!!!

This one is titled Spraywall. Leaves, a wet rainy day, dimension from layering! So cool.

These are titled Spray Drive 1, 2, 3. Primitive like, leaves adding a natural element and wet pavement create a canvas and graphic design that again, is so cool.

This is titled Spray Flat Cart. A moving piece since it is on wheels!!!!

These two are titled Desk Art1, 2. The desk is cut, dripped, brushed over & over & over again creating layers of paint...almost creating an encaustic piece!

In the meantime, I went to my watercolor class. Why?
