Windswept

 

Saturday night we had a couple of big thunderstorms and lots of wind so we stayed in the lower level all night again. It's the only time I get down there these days so it wasn't all bad although sleeping on a noisy air mattress with a fidgety little dog wasn't a lot of fun. I did manage to start a watercolor from the book Cindy sent me. I'm really awful at this but had fun slopping paint around. 



While I was waiting for the masking fluid to dry on the watercolor, I watched a YouTube tutorial from Rokia Love on some zen art and tried to follow along. I didn't get it right either time but had fun with some alcohol markers and a Sharpie. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong on the second try so I'll give this a go again some day. 





I also added a few more "moons" to my lunar mandala. I've been working on this one forever but it so tedious I can only do a few sections at a time. I finally got to sleep at 3 am and then up again at 7 so yesterday was a wash. The Mister and I declared it "Do Nothing" day and that's exactly what we did.

  2. It looks like you did quite a lot of artistic pursuits on "Do Nothing Day"! Today is beautiful here and I hope it's the same in MD.

  4. You say your zen art isn't right - but it doesn't look wrong either - it looks pretty darn cool!
