The Siamese cat is a fascinating breed: Intelligent, inquisitive, energetic and extroverted. It is difficult to divert one's attention away from their exquisite, hypnotic, cerulean blue eyes.
Today's painting was an exercise in 'controlled chaos.' I laid down large sections of water and then added the paint and simply walked away, letting the water and paint mingle without my guidance.
I love the spontaneous quality of watercolor and the 'happy accidents' created by allowing the force of the water on paper and water on paint to influence the final outcome of a piece.
Only after the washes had dried, did I add detail. I did not add much. "Less is more" in some cases and often, the most difficult decision I must make when painting is when to stop.
