Episode 016: How can we use metaphor to better understand our creative practice?

It is a gorgeous summer afternoon. Temperature is perfect as I listen to birds singing and waves hitting the shore. How could I possibly stay indoors on a day like this?

Sometimes you just time it right.

I spent the day creating 2” swatches for all my watercolors. I recorded the brand, name and pigment number on each swatch. Then I painted each card, followed by a second coat down one side. Each swatch has a black line under the paint layers that helps me see the transparency of a colour. They are also made with 140lb cold press paper to show any granulation.

Some of the beauty I saw on my morning walk with Joey. June is such a generous month!
