Painting in watercolour was a revelation for me. It is a delicate balance between the artist, the paint, the paper, and the water. The water adds a dynamic element to the process. You do not fully know what the painting will become until it is fully dry. I had to learn to let go at the right moment and to trust that it will be fine. Also that perfection does not exist and chasing after it, I lose the joy of surprise and discovery.

Here is a sample of my first watercolour postcards. I played it safe by sticking to flowers. But this is only the first on an exhilarating journey of self discovery.
