Here is one of those times where you intend to change the look of a piece by working back into it...then have a change of mind to keep it as is.  This watercolor was an experiment in developing an edge between the painted portion and the paper itself.  This rumination was completed in the fields just south of my studio.  The idea was to capture the essence of the watercolor's freedom as it precipitated to form the image and replicate that in an arabesque to frame it in.  Simply put, I wanted a nice edge.

Currently in our bible study, we are working on "thoughts".  Big subject there, one I hope to share more on as we make our way.  "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...", a thought God communicates to us in Proverbs 23.  Our thoughts pop out somewhere.  Part of that is my brush committed to paper or canvas.  So when I'm in Schalow's field with my brush out, and the thoughts are there and I dive in and I get a result.  Well I think I'll leave that one alone.
