This has been a day where I just couldn't seem to focus. My second day home from Ohio had me catching up on chores, and all those other loose ends I needed to work on. I started painting countless times, only to get up and take care of something else. Finally, I am finished with this watercolor batik of a still life on the main street in Fairfield. There were several wonderful displays outside of the shops - and this is only one of three that I intend to paint! I am finding a preference for the super thin rice paper. I have just two pieces left, and then a whole roll of masa - and I think I'll have to go get some more of the thin paper! It is harder to paint on, but there is something about that translucency that I really love! The masa is thicker, still a rice paper, but it paints more like a watercolor paper. So, if you love controlling your paint - masa is probably the right choice for you. If part of you likes throwing caution to the wind - then the super thin rice paper may be the perfect fit! This painting makes the 680 in as many days - wow - I am nearing 700 paintings :)
Love this autumn bounty!
