For day 12 of Art Every Day Month, I created intuitively and playfully. I didn't know where I was going, when I put ink on watercolor paper and let it drip. I let it sit for awhile and wasn't seeing anything I wanted to pull out, so I started painting over it with acrylic and let that sit for a bit until I saw an image I wanted to play with. I cropped the paper I was working on and drew in the figure.
It's was a little hard to take a picture with the shiny gold paint, but I think I got the essence of it. I'm calling it "The Walk" and it's about 6"x9" with ink and acrylic on paper.
I love the intensity of those colors.
I love the way you work, pausing at intervals and seeing what shapes/ideas inspire you onto the next stage.
Very passionate vibrant colours.

Leah – I love this one too! It reminds me of taking a nowhere in particular kind of walk, and pulling in all the beautiful colors.
oooh I love this one! One of my favorites!
As soon as I saw this it went ‘BANG!’ and whalloped me in the face – in a very good way! The colour is so strong, it’s full of energy. Great piece. This week I’ve been freeing up my style too. Trying to maintain correct proportions and structure but letting go with the shading, paint and backgrounds. It’s very liberating, if a little scary! It’s been a great week.

I find this one moody and mysterious. Great job.
Stay inspired!
This has a very Salvador Dali feel to it. I like!
Stunning piece.

Leah, What a great piece! Love the colors!
This is beautiful. Contemplative and yet vibrant. Wonderful mood to this!
Beautiful work, Leah! Great colors!
amazing… the figure totally defines the painting but the same time the background does too. such a passionate, vivid piece. i love it!
i love the colors. and the process is very inspiring. it is fun to mix serendipity with conscious creation. it trains the eye to see the magic everywhere.

I love the blends in this. The subtle shift from one colour to the next. And you figure has such movement. Great work.
Thanks for sharing.

You’re inspiring me to do some more works on paper. Great feel to this one.
Lovely and expressive. I too enjoy reading about your process
I am especially attracted to the reflections in the lower part. Maybe it is because of my love for river, I don’t know…. but I do know I love it.
This is gorgeous. The colors are so rich and vibrant.
this feels shamanic and mysterious. actually, many of your pieces this month have felt that way to me. excellent. thank you.
I love the drama of this piece! Amazing.
I’m catching up and – WOW! – can’t believe I almost missed this. I think it’s my favorite of all your work that I’ve seen.
