Delight at the Aunty Art Cafe
What do you see in this Picture?
All Ingredients of Joy are Present:
Art materials (portable)
A nice cup of tea (English Breakfast)
A nice niece (well, more than nice, really – fabuloso)A splendid location (water views)
A breeze (the bees knees on a hot day).
Upside Down Waterscape
I am in love
with my new watercolour Brilliants.
They are called Brilliants and indeed they are. Brilliant.
(I hope my aquabrushes don’t feel jealous. We have a longer term relationship. We are calmly companionable, my aquabrushes and I.)
Ruby and Sal begin.
Actually, I begin. With a simple blue swooshy line across the page. We are across the road from an ocean beach, so it makes sense.
Beginnings
Ruby continues. Swirly seaweedy
life growing up from the base of the page.
Gently Growing and Flowing
We continue in this collaborative painting vein for some time. Absorbed. Communicating. Taking turns. Gently responding. I remember to sip my tea. She remembers to sip her chai latte.
Oh the delight
of a light
easy co-creating process!
We don’t know what will emerge. We are both pretty relaxed about this. Not particularly attached to the outcome, but taking care and offering attention. Improvising with love and spaciousness.
We wonder how it will look if we turn the page upside down. Ah. Sort of undersea cave ish, with stalactites and stalagmites. We can’t recall which ones go up and which down. ‘Tights fall down’, I think is what I learned at school.
Upside Down Waterscape
We don’t care.
The painting continues anyway.
Oooo. Look at the mooshy wet watery colours running here.
See How They Run
Look at the ultra fine detail there.
The Watery Land of the Tentative Heart
Time to finish.
It was a Brilliant Jewel Segment of my Day, of my Life.
Tuesday Bluesday Ruby and Sal
The good news is that Ruby enjoyed it too.
Here are a couple of previous Ruby n Sal art experiences…
You’re so lucky

Quite well, thank you. Managing to keep my head above water, at least. 🙂

Human heads do like to be above water most of the time. We could do with complementary gills, perhaps. But seriously, glad you are going quite well.

Teehee. I would look good with gills. Would complement the jowls. 😀

Sorry to hear it’s not easy for you. Hmm. It was indeed a golden moment of flow. Doesn’t mean it’s always like that. Actually, shhh… I am a stresshead in many areas of my life. It’s just that I don’t post publicly about all those times.
May your creative joy flow and glow.
