Creativity, as seen through Chromatic Daggers Drawn to Spark

Everyday Happiness

At Creative Tuesday this week we've been asked to explore the topic of Everyday happiness.  There were just way too many to do just one, so I threw them all together for some collage fun.  Check out what makes people happy, head on over to Creative Tuesday and see the many ways.

Silence amongst the Cacophony

My first attempt with watercolors.  I found I enjoy the ease of application yet found the bleeding factor a bit unexpected at first, before I realized brush type makes a big difference.  The Flowers on, and including, the rocky white mossed basin and the trail of blood was done using oil, the grassy shoreside/hillside was done using watercolor as was the base of the pool, which I then proceeded to fill.  The droplets in the pool were airbrushed in and for the Ocean I used a paint tube.  There is a brief poem in the ocean as well.  I may go back and add some other elements, perhaps a boulder or some rocks later on, but for now I like the barren feeling that would accompany such a scene.
