"storm rolling"
ATC~watercolor and watercolor pencil
Another ATC for you...I actually started another watercolor on a larger piece of paper that I just haven't finished. If I finish it today I'll add it to this post. I have a big pile of watercolors in tubes that I collected from taking that class w/ my dad. (See previous post) As well as I inherited all of his. I rarely use them. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's got something to do w/ that previous post. Anyway, it was fun to do....watercolors intrinsically make you fast and free and able to carve out life w/ abandon. At least for me. If I try to control the watercolor, it only controls me, and nothing good happens in either direction. I still love these little ATC's....they break through barriers for me. It's okay to just be "done".

Miriam, I love this! It's such an emotional little piece! I would never have guessed that it's so small - it looks to me like a much larger painting.
I agree with Cheryl this looks like a big painting...WOW...I can feel the powerful force of that storm...IT IS WONDERFUL...You ought to think about getting back into the watercolors you are terrific at it!!!!
I have to 2nd Pattie and Cheryl!
Also...I'm seeing this transfered to ceramic tile, as a mosiac piece, installed in a bathroom...as an entire wall above the soaking tub! You'd walk into the room and couldn't help but say WOW!
Okay..I'm with the tohers...this is really amazing for such a small size. It's wonderful anyway, but I'm completely impressed. Beautiful!
You guys are really nice! I'll have to try something similar on a large scale just for you!
The colors pack a powerful punch, and you can almost hear the wind and thunder while looking at this painting! I also love the peek of sun in the upper right hand corner.
This is a great ATC. I love how you've taken advantage of the messiness inherent in watercolours.
Really love the way your colors flow and blend. And the lines up at the very top...
Great piece !. The blue looks like a cat to me :) do you see that too :)
Beautiful colors! I like how they blend into each other :)
i love the mood of this
I don't know why... but when I saw this painting my initial reaction was "Oh! Ireland! When a storm whips us and throws the light around!"
it is mysterious and lovely and dreamy...
Excellent Miriam--the scale, the way the colors bleed into eachother, the tone.
