It rained!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the paintings in my recent Exhibition in Llangollen Museum that I could have sold many times over was this little watercolour of rainy Llangollen.\u00a0 It didn’t seem to matter which part of the United Kingdom you lived in, this was the one you wanted.\u00a0\u00a0 This was unexpected, to say the least, so no prints and no cards, and I don’t do repeat paintings.\u00a0 I don’t greatly care for commissions either as I find it difficult to create a painting when other people’s expectations are riding on it.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0 I did agree to attempt my local bridge “in the same style”.\u00a0 I thought “nice little watercolour – I know the bridge very well – I only have to paint it in blue – shouldn’t take long!”\u00a0\u00a0 Wrong, wrong, wrong!\u00a0 After six attempts I was desperate.\u00a0 Nothing worked. Painting the bridge in blue wasn’t difficult.\u00a0 The problem was that each effort lay on the page – dead;\u00a0 lifeless and without vitality;\u00a0 nothing I would put my name to.\u00a0 Goodness knows I’ve seem the bridge in the rain countless times – I’ve even seen it in the dark!<\/p>\n

Inspiration!\u00a0 Moonshine on the water!\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 I love it.<\/p>\n
