Water and Fire

I was introduced by a friend to http://laughingcrowstudio.blogspot.com/ and wrote a comment to a post in her Blog. I don't often write in ways that seem coherent, lol, I'm an artist not a writer. But I liked what I wrote so I wanted to include it here in my Blog.

I personally strive to not be realistic, which normally emerges because I crave order and rules. I also take very little in the way of instruction, just the basics, so I learn to express my own heart and being not just copy someone else's style. I love watercolor and glass because they will do what they will do. You can make them be exact like painting watercolor in a dry brush style, or making things of stained glass... but once you add water or heat they will do what their nature tells them to do... I can only point in a direction and watch as the medium becomes a partner in creation instead of a tool.
