Red Geraniums

 

Back in June, I had a modeling job for a college class that finished at the peak of rush hour.  Rather than grind through the maddening traffic, I sat with my paints and a watercolor journal in a quiet courtyard, and let the roads open up while I splashed paint around. 

I looked through a cardboard viewfinder to frame my composition, then sketched in pencil and added watercolors from a small palette with a water brush pen.

Relaxing in the elegant space and focusing on the colors and shapes around me felt like a mini vacation.

I hope you can find little spots in your schedule to fit some art for self care!
