Watercolor and ink in Moleskin watercolor sketchbookOk, this one wasn´t hard for me. Something I´d like to preserve - Nature. The Environment. Earth. I did this quick sketch today at a picnic in the woods, close to the lake Mälaren, not far from where I live. It was such a nice day and such a beautiful spot. To sit near the beach, listen to the sea and the birds. To smell the wonderful fresh air and admire the little spring blossoms covering the ground. That´s life to me... I´d really hate it if my grandchildren wouldn´t be able to experience days like this because our generation won´t take responsibility for the problems our lifestyle have caused. To be honest, I am quite scared that my grandchildren won´t be able to walk the earth at all unless we start taking action now and change the way we live. Maybe the moral speech is a bit out of topic in this kind of blog, but think about it this way - where will the future generation of artists find their motives if everything is just desert... ;)
It's a beautiful little painting, and your words are so true! nancy
ReplyDeleteWell done. Anna! Both the painting and the thoughts are beautiful.
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty painting!
ReplyDeleteLovely watercolour and I agree with you 100%. I feel quite despairing sometimes with the utter disregard for our planet - which after all is what enables us to surbvive too - expressed by so many many people and the complete lack of commitment to change.
ReplyDeleteI agree if we don't all commit to change our way of living/treatment of our planet, we will never be able to go forward, I like your painting too!
ReplyDeleteDu har så rätt Anna! Och nej, klart man får hålla en moralpredikan i sin egen blogg. Var annars? ;) Kram.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love how the branches go =) It's mesmerizing, calming, and makes you feel that you want it to last forever. Your drawing certainly made the impact there ^^
ReplyDeleteSehr schön!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting. I agree with your post. It is very frightening.
