Watercolor
I wanted to paint the figs in watercolor; but had a lot of difficulty with it for one reason or another. On my own blogspot, this is the painting I previously wrote about being a mess. I already had painted the bright yellow colors in the back ground-- I just had to figure out what to do next.So, late very last night, I continued to work on it and eventually my imagination got the best of me! 'Quite possibly', I thought, 'these "three little three figs" could be standing on a Broadway stage singing their hearts out to a live audience'. The background became bright stage lights and the table was now their stage. Suddenly, they took on a life of their own getting eyes and mouths. Oh yes, they were now real crowd pleasers.
Whether you feel they are crowd pleasers or not, it doesn't matter. All I know is I had fun getting carried away and letting an exaggerated imagination take over to finish this piece.
Strange things happen in the wee hours of the morning! It makes me smile, regardless.
I wonder though; would one say, for good luck to these broadway performers, "break a stem"?

Awesome post Linda! I am up late tonight painting. This was so fun to click on the blog and see your post.
Also, I made a silly mistake today...our family drove to Mt. Gretna thinking the show was this weekend. I hope to see you NEXT weekend at the show!
Did you get to the Jigger Shop to get your ice cream anyhow? See you next weekend, rain or shine. (I'm hoping for cool and sunny)
Thanks for sharing your creative experience. I think we all have those last minute explosions of imagination that often lead to the most original work.
Best of luck with the show...I will try to get there.
