My muse apparently is still on vacation. I have starts all over the studio, this one being the most recent. I start but inspiration either leaves or I'm not sure where to go next -- or I fear messing it up.
But a better thing to do I think, is to look at it and wonder why I started this way. I don't have an image in mind other than watercolor landscape but looking at this I see beach as though I'm seeing the landscape from out in the water. That makes sense to me. I do love being on the water but sitting on shore looking out at water works for me too. I may just leave this one as it is or it could become more abstract.
Hopefully my muse will return and help me find my way with this and a few others that are in the works. Meanwhile I continue to do a quick morning sketch and sort more supplies that can go away.
On another note -- The Art Tribe exhibit at the Gallery Uptown came down yesterday. I posted my piece in the exhibit last week. I'm still lamenting the lost piece. I truly like it so much better than the rushed piece that ended up in the exhibit. Here's how it looked before the last two worked on it.
What's so wonderful about this is that it truly represents everyone taking time to think about where they were going to go with it and I can see them in what they did. That and it has the work on one of the Tribe who was unable to work on my replacement piece because of health issues. I do hope this turns up eventually but at least I have this photo. I may have to print it on a tee shirt.

Helen, sad to lose something. I like the landscape-ish one! You posted a couple of times on my blog and it didn't come through. Sorry I didn't answer in a timely manner. I need to check the files more often.... Take care.
