Daily Painting
Watercolor 10 x 13" on Arches 140 lb paper.
This was a trip with the Watercolor Society to the Salmagundi Club in New York for the American Watercolor Society's annual international exhibit - last year at this time, actually. My friend and I sat and people watched for a while - lots of activities going on. And of course lots of photos.
I was very amused at a girl who set an easel up in a high traffic area and then proceeded to paint from memory. I admired her comfort level in doing it.....I would have tucked myself away somewhere with a sketch pad instead.
My thought for today is on the subject of confidence, a quote from Paul Ceszanne to Victor Chocquet:
"I should have wished to possess the intellectual equilibrium that characterizes you and permits you to achieve without fail the desired end... Chance has not favoured me with an equal self-assurance, it is the only regret I have about things of this earth."
or this:
"Walk to your easel casually, but with a dollop of arrogance." ...Harley Brown
