Fluid, fluidity and rain and more rain


 
Mr Bear thought a horses gait was fluid....not so!
It was way more bumpy than expected and farther up in the air as well.
Then down came the rain and sleet....

He really wanted to go home, even if he had to ride on the back. Better hang on Mr Bear.

enough fluidity for one day, and very sore legs as well!


 A few flowers in the rain....
 Lots of fluidity around here.

Gosh, Catharine, I continue to be amazed and astounded by your watercolour paintings. Very well done. :)

Thanks for the positive comments, as a rider when I was young it seemed all winter it rained...by the time you got your horse ready to ride it was dark! This led to very frisky horses all winter long!

Such wonderful paintings and story. I love the backview of going home. How did you add the rain?

Catharine said...

I added the rain using the program gimp an open source software similar to photoshop. Using the eraser tool and drawing in the "rain". Hope that answers your question?
