05 Stepping Into Joy II

The experience depicted here, of a moment among close friends, and the actual painting process are both joyful. I reference an experience of genuine close connection, positively reframe shadows, and reduce barriers by sharing colours and marks. I record a fleeting moment to render it permanent. I plan first and let intuition guide me to completion. I use watercolour, watercolour crayons and pencils, acrylics and graphite. This painting has a quality solid wood shadow frame and is ready to hang.
