Simplicity in Art

Simplicity.

 This is what draws me to illustration and watercolors.

Less is more.

Recently I read this quote, 

"Any fool can make something complicated.

It takes a genius to make it simple." 

Woodie Guthrie.

I'm excited to have a little time to paint,

hoping to get back to the daily painter status. 

Looking forward to Christmas as well on this 

blustery, first day of December. 

 I will soon be another year wiser. 

Another year getting 'simpler.

As Martha Stewart says,

"This is a good thing."

Girls Fairy Land Art and Painting

It happens when it's cool and foggy outside. It's the kind of magic scene that reminds me of fairies. The softest, sweetest, innocent fairies. The colors of fog are many depending on the time of day and season. That must be why I love the dreamy look.

I'm making a grouping of these candyland colored girl fairies. (I guess you could call them wedding colors, too.) Here is the second painting. Prints are for sale on etsy.

Can you believe I have not been out shopping yesterday or today? I'm here on the farm playing with my son.
