Today, a friend came over to paint with me. We followed a watercolor tutorial by Makoccino on youtube. We made messes, had angst, and ended up loving it. She said something about the mood swings of making art. I said, “Now you know what I go through all the time.” Excitement at beginning, hatred and depression at the ugly stage, falling in love with it as it develops, despising the end of it, falling in love again after an eye break. LOL! It can be exhausting.

My favorite is the one on the left. I hated the one on the right so much that I flung paint all over it and now I love it. LOL!
It was fun having an art play date. We will have to do more in the future.
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘You too? I thought I was the only one.’ — C. S. Lewis
exists to create art which reflects the beauty and the glory of God, to use art to comfort and encourage people, and to inspire others to pursue the arts.
