We were making our way, slowly, through Tourette sur Lupe in the hills above Antibes when, sitting patiently I saw a little girl quietly having a snack on the step. She seemed to enjoy the chocolate more than the town. Maybe she was waiting for another shopper too.

Weekend Watercolor #212 St Paul Girl

For me, watercolor has become a way to step into that reflective space. It’s also a great place to practice managing expectations;  the colors blend, the water flows, and often things don’t go as planned. But that’s the beauty of it. It’s less about control and more about being present, letting go, and seeing what emerges.
