couldn't resist

brought the watercolors outside today,
honestly, because my studio is so light and so open
i haven't really felt the need to paint outside
since i moved here
but
after the winter we had
to not be outside
seemed almost criminal

now the reality is
(and this is a testament to how critical the consistency of my space is to me)
even though i have always taken every opportunity to paint en plein air
moving my space never does wonders for my work
and i usually hate whatever it is i make
the only time that changed
was with the beach paintings
and it took years
