This is one of those paintings that practically painted itself. I started out splashing the paper with small dots of masking fluid. Then accidentally I smeared the dots and they became lines. Not knowing what was going to happen I let the masking fluid dry figuring something would speak to me. Many times I've heard "Watercolor, let the medium do it. Well, not having a choice in this case, I wet the paper and put down complementary colors letting them flow together a bit. When dry it seemed as if I had autumn leaves. I added the tree trunks, saw the possibility of creating a river so added blue water. Voila.....a finished original!
