This page began as a decision to finally take out the Derwent Inktense Blocks I had purchased awhile back and give them a try! So I sprayed the watercolor paper with a bit of water and began scribbling color with the blocks. The scribbling led to a landscape background and then I just went with it! Something about the blue sky and the green grass made me think...COW! Yes, this is how my mind works and I try to just go with it! Maybe what triggered COW! was a trip I took back in 1990 with my mom. We were driving on the California coast toward San Francisco and I was so taken by the gorgeous coast, the beautiful green hills and the cows grazing in the grass. Those cows looked so content. (This was also the moment in my life when I became a vegetarian (I am now vegan) - those cows looked so happy I decided I didn't need to eat them anymore :) Anyway, I digress...So, the inktense blocks led to COW! and COW! led to this completed page :) This page makes me smile - I'm even wondering about taking it, and the bird page I did last week, and maybe doing some framing so that I can enjoy these pages on a wall. I know I would lose a bit of the page given the holes of the spiral binding...or maybe I should just frame them with the holes and all :) Either way, what this page taught me is that if you have a supply that you purchased that you haven't yet played with...the time is now! :)
