Abstract Painting With Watercolors And Mixed Media | 2024 - 10

Описание: The days are starting to warm up and soon I’ll be starting to think about gardening. Until then, I’m using my creativity to connect with the grounding energy of the earth by creating a watercolor geologic abstract. For me, this painting process is intuitive, mindful and relaxing. I hope it will be for you as well. Please sit back and enjoy!
