Do Not Be Anxious About Tomorrow #2
Here is version #2. The letters have all fit on one line. I am not as happy with the watercolor rendering. Yesterday's was much freer, looser. The lettering is better but it still has a long way to go. I love the lettering of Edward Gorey. It is so fluid. I am not sure why I never seem to get it. Gorey had such a way with lettering. I can do it, but I don't necessarily like the results. Watercolor is wonderful. I don't paint wet on wet, I don't like it. I prefer to just move the paint around 'til I get what I want. I will never be a fine artist. I just don't like to draw. Instead I like the feel of my Rapidograph pen and the handling of my # 5 watercolor brush. I like to just try to create something that makes me smile and makes me feel good about what I've done. It is not great art, but I did it. This image is only three inches by three inches. Very small. Easy to cut a mat for and to frame. Very cheap to frame.
