The colour of water.

So, there's a theme emerging. Watercolours are high on my list of beautiful things and inspiration this week. Take a peek at these wonderful paintings by Cate Parr.

Super talented, right?! 

I get the feeling I'll be hanging round the blog and internets tomorrow. I might even throw in a few emails to make you smile. Am going to my follower list to see who I shall email...

Watercolour Pencils

I love those words together.

watercolour pencils.


So today I bought some watercolour pencils and some watercolour paper (also excellent together). The sun was shining and I walked for quite a way to find a little independent art shop which I was sure would be in my town.

It wasn't there.


I must of imagined it because where I thought would be one, was actually a bookshop so I had to slope into a high-street chain... and no sooner had I bought everything, the sky burst and rain poured. Then comes the  realization that I forgot to bring a jacket or anything that could shield me. So I scurried into the nearest coffee shop, which just happened to be a Starbucks.

*Cue more rain.*

I sheltered for a while, sketched and drank a rather questionable Chai tea latte... (Someone at Starbucks HQ obviously said, "Get a normal cup of tea, quickly dip a stick of Cinnamon in it for a few milliseconds and no one will ever tell the difference. Don't worry about the rest of the ingredients!")

But eventually I made it home and that, I suppose, is the end of the story.
