My brain is demanding simplicity and I like to listen to it's voice now and then.
So here is another calming piece for the day.
If you're like me, you could have two voices: one might be the lazy voice,
and the other is the prodding-me-to-get-on-with-it-voice.
Or one voice whines "I can't" and the other forcefully replies "YES YOU CAN!"
I long ago named these two brainiacs and in an earlier blog (now defunct)
I introduced them, so forgive me if you have already heard this.
Please meet Itch and Scratch.
Just don't ask me which one is which as they like to switch
backwards and forwards just to add to life's little challenges -
that way they figure, I'll never really know which is the best voice to listen to :-)

Hi Gillian, I like this piece. And I like Itch and Scratch! I think they both had a hand here. While this is calm, with soothing colors and no waves kicked up, it also still has its core muscles quietly engaged.
I'm eager to know the process here—how did you apply paint?
Dotty my friend.....this was one of those paintings that started out one thing and ended up another. I began with a brush, tube paint for thickness and a little water to spread/dilute some of it but not all. The colors changed too until I settled on the teal/Manganese Blue for sky and Manganese/Anthraq Blue/Phthalocyanine Blue for lower 1/3. I had wanted a sunrise but it was covered over with the white. The last few layers were applied with palette knife. My favorite area is the upper right where Liquitex Bright Aqua Green just barely shows (probably not in photo) in contrast to the blue. It's all about yummy colors - I could fall into them and be so happy! Gillian
Gillian, thanks for taking the time to share your process and tools and colors and the evolution of it all. I especially like the textured layering in the sky. Indeed, yummy colors!
