When I grow up I want to draw pictures that make people smile. -Stephanie

Watercolor + acrylic on paper

… for me right now.

It was absolutely necessary that I sit still and paint today and here are the unfinished results so far.

My painted interpretation of a large quilt my grandma made and stitched by hand decades ago using upcycled shirts. It’s gotten a lot of use and is showing the wear and tear that a well loved quilt will show on a long enough timeline. Still, I can’t bring myself to put it away for long. While a piece of me thinks I should keep it safe and preserved, my grandma is a practical woman that likes knowing something she made is getting good use. A sentiment I can appreciate. And so, maybe I can extend it’s life through watercolor.
