Oh wow thank you so much for reading! I'm glad you liked it. I've only had the priveledge painting with water colors a few times myself but I enjoyed it. This one just came to me while we were driving to see my sister..it was early...Everytime I see the sky in those early mornings where the sun is just coming in and the sky is bright orange, pink, blue, purple, yellow, orange, white, and sometimes even a little green all in one sky I get overtaken by the beauty of it....I start to think about how I wish I could paint it.
To paint skys like that I've noticed water colors work well because of the way they blend when you wet the surface of the canvas before hand...That got me thinking of water colors and then the line "Water color woman starts to fade when she's crying" came into my head and immediately after more lines began to come and as soon as we got to my sisters house I asked for a pen and paper and began writing it down so I wouldn't forget it. I knew I really had something with that one.
I've been wanting to enter it in online poetry contests but everytime I try they say it's too big..has too many characters...too many bars (supposed to be 21) etc. Stuff I don't understand...I try moving around things to see if they fit then but they never do...wish someone could help me with that and tell me how to format it so I could submit it.
. Oh well it's their loss
Thanks to all of you for reading!
Asta!!
