I am so fortunate to live in a part of the world where the outside is pleasant and physical distancing doesn’t restrict painting, even with a friend 6 ft away.
On one of my early morning walks the rising sun (well risen to be honest) caused the prickly pear to glow against the dark background of vegetation
I love working with the palette knife but my early ventures have been less than satisfying. Today was the first time I felt as though I was working with the knife, paper and watercolor. It’s early days, but the glimmer of confidence has been nurtured. This was my second attempt at capturing the scene. I consciously tried to move away from literal realism.
Chedda, felt pretty comfortable with these prickles too😉

So beautiful, Marilyn!Wendy “Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim.”~ Tyler Knott Gregson
