Watercolor

I attended a meeting of a committee I served on. Everyone was to bring some small sample of their own artistic, musical or literary work to share with the group … a “get-to-know” introduction. I’m a longtime watercolorist. I brought a small, recent watercolor. I thought it a good enough bit of work in its amateur, cartoony, good-natured, sort-of-way … a sailboat sailing, a big ship sinking, volcano erupting, and happy fish ignoring the chaos. A few in the group seemed to think I needed counseling. Next time, a cheerful landscape, chirping birds, and a smiling sun.
