Look What I Found

| Traveling 11 x 9 inch Watercolor & Ink abstract 2022 |
The storage ottoman was the target to sort out this morning. To my surprise (when isn't it), I discovered that most of what was in there is dated in 2022 (mid covid pandemic). The knitting needles I've been looking for, half of them are in there. Notebooks, sketchbooks, magazines and a catalog were also in there. The catalog is glossy paper that I will use to make paper beads from a tutorial on YouTube, Treasure Books channel.
A mid century dresser is next on the sort out list. One section is in a grocery bag, sewing notions and such. The other stuff I am not looking forward to deciding what to do with it. The music DVDs I'll ask the local library first. Papers will be shredded or stored away. After everything is cleared out, the storage will be used for projects, knitting, sewing, writing, drawing, and a nice tidy junk drawer.
The watercolor and ink abstract is the biggest surprise because the memory of painting it is blurry (like most of 2022). The style of abstract art is what I like to do as a break from impressionism acrylic artwork. I also like this painting the way it is. I greet it with less thought of fixing it like I usually do when I see a stored away painting.
What a lovely find!

I certainly wouldn't be doing any 'fixing' to that painting! I would be searching the thrift store for a frame and hang it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun delving into storage areas and discovering all sorts of treasures that have been forgotten about. There's always a few things that we end up wondering what we were thinking when we tucked them away. I went through my landscape fabric stash and that did me in for awhile. Must muster my courage to dive into another area soon.
What a great surprise!! I LOVE the abstract painting!! It's just deligtful in it's colorful whimsey!!

Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteThe painting feels like it was fun to create.
I'm not comfortable doing abstract art but when I see something like this, I was I was a bit more daring. This is really lovely. I appreciate the wonderful colors, line and movement.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I took on my filing cabinet, no mean task. There is probably more that could go but I weeded out a lot of things that were either duplicated or no longer needed. That felt rather good, but of course no one but me can tell I spent a couple of hours doing a task!
Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteWatercolors are so fluid, moves so much, it almost feels like painting abstracts.
Taking your time to go through things is less stressful.
I love your art...it makes me smile too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, diane
ReplyDeleteYour photographs taken on your many hikes makes me smile as well.
I'm glad you like the painting just as it is. Perfectly whimsical and interesting to look at.
ReplyDeleteBecki,
ReplyDeleteWatercolor and ink abstracts are relaxing to do. They allow the imagination time to play.
