Honoring my New Year's promise of MORE, Cyndi and I spent the afternoon watercolor painting (with lots of giggling and talking happening, too).

For Christmas, I bought each of us an Artochi Watercolor Paint Kit. I thought it would be the perfect launch into our life as artists (a girl can hope).
"This portable watercolor kit provides everything you need to start painting, including a locally inspired drawing designed to introduce watercolor techniques. All you need is water." I appreciated the encouraging message, "Mistakes are features, not flaws." 
There were many features on art attempt but an artist has to start somewhere. This is only my third time painting and I'm not giving up. I enjoyed this quote by Susan Weintraub, "Watercolor seemed to have a mind of its own, not unlike a misbehaving child who needs guidance and discipline, but whose spirit and energy is best preserved." What fun! Here's to MORE.
