Finished work of the progress seen in the status: www.deviantart.com/thestarligh…

I was painting freely with watercolours, started on the left side from the middle, with some magenta-purple colour it resembled an abstract swan or something, then I put the ball and the strokes began to resemble a feather instantly. Then I moved right and with faint pastel hues painted some upwards rising energy which later began to resemble a phoenix, and so I began to clarify its form there with colours of different sorts. And so the red, blue and green, yellow and orange spread and the previously-swan became the phoenix's wing and mingled with the colour fire. So the outcome was kind of unintentional.

The feather with the ball/planet, resembles an egg to me personally. Maybe that's a symbol or rebirth too? Something new is about to be born...? Hmm...

Here I recalled the painting techniques with water I've used earlier, you can see where the brush was more wet than where it was not. Relaxing experience to start with a free mood having no "musts" for it to be anything or become anything, than just paint and have fun and learn from the progress!

I think I can definitely feel the Mayan calendar "White Wind"'s period already affecting my energies to more freedom and refreshing feel in making art. This sort of flowed into paper. ^^

Tools: pencil, Camel watercolours (1999 Mumbai, India),

Fabriano 24x32cm, 300g/m2 cold press watercolour paper
