Exploring New Watercolors

My new watercolors are 
much more saturated than the old ones.
Still getting to know them. 
With these new paints
my small sketches are more abstract these days.
(This was a scene in shop of pretty things
here in town.)
Sadness has come into my life recently...
I release it onto paper... 
Life has it's darkness as well as lightness.
Colors change from day to day, month to month...
C'est comme ça.

  3. Oh dear Rita.I am sorry for you.



    I visited Van Gogh's asylum..St Paul Mausolée...where he spent 1 year of sadness..It was so moving.
    I guess none of us are exempt of it.

    Take care♥

    1. Yes, visiting Van Gogh's St. Paul de Mausole was deeply moving for me too...He was allowed to paint there...in that beautiful setting...Have you seen the film, Loving Vincent? It touched me deeply. To be human is to have a range of feelings and situations...

  4. Art is such a great outlet for expressing feelings. I like the new vivid colors. And I hope they will offer you new pathways to work through your feelings! The deep blue to magenta reminds me a lot of the heavy type of sunset can get when a rainy day is starting to clear.
