Mesa Watercolor 2


In early Spring of 2006, another sister in my ward (congregation) asked if we could paint together. We tried a number of times to schedule it, and it did not work out. At last we made the effort. Her children played with my children as we sat outside on the back patio and painted together. I began almost half-heartedly. But, I really enjoyed myself because I was not taking this piece seriously. I was just enjoying the freedom to do whatever I wanted. I did not finish this painting in one day, but I enjoyed the result so much I kept working on it. It took some encouragement and feedback from my family members, but I mustered the discipline to finish it and this is now one of my favorite pieces.
