I've not painted properly for quite a while - not sure why, possibly due to being busy with other things. I find if I haven't painted for more than a couple of weeks I get withdrawal symptoms - it affects my mood quite badly. It's worse when you want to paint but don't have a subject in mind. So I've taken the bull by the horns and started a tiger in watercolour - I used to paint tigers a lot, so much so that the local art society nick-named me The Tiger Lady! However, you can have too much of a good thing and I moved on, but it's always nice to go back to the same subject once in a while.
I'm planning on this being quite splashy and loose around the edges, with the detail in the centre only - that's the theory at least!
Giving the knitting a rest for a bit - aching thumbs after a busy week.
