Today, my inspirational pull is from David Whyte again. “Rest” a poem by David Whyte, Consolations.

Watercolor paints. (I actually prefer tubes to pans and have my own palette I mix up, but these will do for plein air and to start. However, if you are a beginner you may use whatever you like for both paints, brushes, and paper. But, the higher quality the paints, paper, and brushes, the better your painting will turn out. First make sure you love watercolor as your main medium before you buy the good stuff unless you plan on studying watercolor all year.)
Here is my Artscape from today:
"REST...
...is the conversation between what we love to do and how we love to be.
Rest is the essence of giving and receiving; an act of remembering, imaginatively and… intellectually but also physiologically and physically."~David Whyte
This is the most beautiful poem on Rest. I highly recommend you read it. His work is copyrighted so I cannot repost the whole of it here. Here is the link below:
