Spirals and Swirls

She is a lady of peace
a watcher
a holder of sacred space

~

My palette had left over watercolors from the last painting.

I wanted to play,
sprayed water on the colors to bring them to live, ready to use.

Painted the above swirly spiraling lines letting colors blend into one another. 
After it dried i noticed a subtle face:


Much texture appears in the paper of this photograph, more than the scanner picks up in the first photo.

That is how she came to life, 
I found her in the swirls of color.

  8. It's fascinating how artworks have a life of their own and birth themselves.

    Enjoy your evening Tammie!
