memories of a bloom watercolor on yupo 7x5.5"
Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.
~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton
I have to fully agree with that quote! The little painting on Yupo took a couple of days and lots of determined patience on my part as I layered paint and waited; used a tooth brush to splatter some paint and waited; dabbed with a wet tissue and waited; added paint in one section and took away paint in another. And repeated the process a few times! I think finally I see the little plant in the sunshine with dried twigs and memories of a lush little field around it.

It is a beautiful piece Meera.. definitely patience is a virtue and life is much more easier to deal with when you learn to be patient.

Thanks Crystal ! It was fun to paint even though I had to be disciplined about going away after ever few strokes or so :)
Another great painting on Yupo! I don't know whether watercolors require patience or teach patience. Perhaps a little of both!
Kathy, Thank you ! Thats very good observation :) Well said.
