Walking on the Wild Side

Walking on the Wild Side
Watercolor on paper, 7x5
Well, its official - I have lost all restraint with my watercolors!  Today, I let the color have it's way with me and am simply following the whim of my brush!  With reckless abandon, I stroke on juicy bits of paint - dropping more pigment into those strokes, allowing the colors to mingle.  I do not mix my colors on the palette before putting them to paper, as I do with all other mediums.  With the water as my vehicle, I drop in the pigments I wish to mix - and let them do their own thing.  Fun, exhilarating, and yes, a little crazy! Loving the freedom of the medium on this, my 580th painting in a row.
