Lonnnng delivery if ever there was one.
One day recently I was emotionally preoccupied and had no focus to bring to my studio. I grabbed a ready-for-reuse calendar poster from my stash and did nothing more than spread gesso on it and then scribble through the wet paint with a metal skewer.
I ended up using the start as a wipe-off-my-palette-knife page. That baby was born and breathing on its own after a labor—if it could even be called that—of no more than seven effortless minutes.
Speedy delivery.
Speaking of Speedy Delivery, a phrase I've borrowed from Mr. Rogers, if you haven't yet seen Won't You Be My Neighbor?, do.

What a wonderful title! So catching like the painting. Lots of surprises in the studio, we just need the eye to see them.
Carol, glad the title strikes your fancy! Indeed, never a lack of surprises in the studio. This was such a fun uncomplicated one, and I'm so happy I had the eye to see it. Happy creating to you today!
I am cracking up over here reading your description...I will now and forever think of my studio as the birthing room! But seriously, this piece is lovely. I see an abstracted koi pond with vibrant fish!
The birthing room, and we're the midwives—pretty cool gig, don't you think?
Jen, love that you see koi here, too; I thought the same thing! AND, my hubby has a koi pond in our back yard : )
I also saw the fish elements!
Fun!
So much energy here :) I do see, a rough and stormy... sea. Love the scribbly scratches :)
Thanks, Sheila—love that you see a rough, stormy, energetic sea, and that the scribbly scratches appeal to you.
