Dipping a toe into Water Color

Got nothing tonight – my little eyeballs are dried out from updating my blog and putting past posts into categories.  So I thought I would share my recent foray into water color.  Not a medium I’ve really played with before and they’re not done, so be kind lol!

One tree …

It needed a friend, so I added a tree

Quit with the trees and since I had the green out, did a praying mantis

Suppose I could utilize Google and Youtube and pick up a few tips.  Think I will.  Maybe this weekend I’ll get the paint out again.

The littlest thing …

I sit outside at night, enjoying the quiet night, fresh air and the stars.  Tonight was no exception, but by my foot – about as small as this series of hyphens ________ was the littlest thing.

I have no clue what it will grow up to be.  But once it caught my attention, I had to capture a tiny portion of its journey.

Here it is making its way to the right.

Is it sensing an obstacle?

Prepping for the big event.

Not a problem – stretching itself over the ‘canyon’.

And a brief look back from under the plank.

 

The littlest things are programmed to keep going, to push forward – to overcome obstacles. Inspired by this little guy who came out at night, amongst the predators – to inch forward to its destiny.

Thanks for being by my foot 🙂
