A watercolor
is an impression of hands drawing out the rain. This morning is a steady pitter patter of water outside, not unlike my cat's paws across the floor. I have been taking a whitline printing class with @kittythepainter and exploring this traditional technique of making monoprints with watercolor, and carving the image into wood. It's very satisfying pushing the knife along the lines of the drawing, the mixing of the paint just right, brushing paint litle by little, rubbing with a spoon or using your hand to press and lift the image back. My first test image is in honor of my anniversary today. It's two apples on a tree that we planted in the yard, and has borne a lot of fruit this year, the kitty in the background. One day it will just be us two, and maybe a cat, our child off into the world. Here is to the future, which is hard to imagine at the moment.
