Water Color Flowers Pillars

This series created when one day I was feeling lost. Although I have expressed many joyful moment in the past and have created pretty and happy posts; I must admit that I am only human with feelings that I can not control.  It is hard for me to be vulnerable here on my blog because  usually I am a happy person. As I mentioned before, life is not always smooth. There are always holes a long the way; some are small and some are big. And we can not avoid to fall into one of them. We can only hope that we will not fall into a deep and bigger hole. No, I did not fall into a big hole. It was pretty small. And usually I can climb back up pretty quick.

To combat this feeling usually I start counting my blessing and telling myself how lucky I am. I remember what my mother always says to me since I was a little girl; "you have to look down not to look up, because if you look down you always taller than anyone, and if you look up you will stumble and fall!" I think this is always stay in my mind each time I feel lost or down.

It is very easy for us to blame others but yourself. In the situation like this; I always try to look back. And ask myself; 'am I perfect?'. Again my mother always remind me this; 'you can not blame others because you also not perfect!'. This is true because then you will not becoming more upset. You are able to dissipate your anger and stress and you will be relieved and happy again.

~~~oo00oo~~~

I really love this water color stem flowers. I created just spontaneously. With brush on my hand and loaded with water color on the tip of the brush I just started to draw the flowers freely without template. Of course I have the actual picture of flowers in front of me to copy but I did not draw with pencil first. And I love this exercise. It was very soothing and enjoyable. I love to see how the water flows and mixed with other colors to create texture and shape. Everything happened without plan and much of a thought; I just moved my hand and followed my instinct to capture the flower freely.

After I made 6 of them I stopped and did not know what to do with them. Then I accidentally rolled one of them to throw away with other scrap papers into the garbage bin. Oh no! Then I thought why not roll all of them since they are all elongated shape of stem flowers. And it was a difficult paper to roll since they are thick water color paper; but I managed to do it slowly. Then the thought of taking picture of them came into my mind.










Now, let's see how it looks if I tie them with ribbon. No, I think it would be better with fabrics and cotton lace trimmings. Now, I think they are looking pretty.














Happy Thursday Everyone!
Thank you so much for visiting me!
