Branching Out

Watercolour on 8x8 Canvas

Just completed a submission for the Escape ARTfest 8x8 Canvas Prize with the theme 'Branching Out' which I thought very appropriate to my painting themes at the  moment, birds & plants. I also relate to the interpretations of 'breaking free' and 'trying new things', which have personal meaning for me on my arty journey.
On this little canvas I wanted to explain how it is to be free to express and create but still bound by time, ability, mood, space, fear and all those things that keep us earthbound and in our groove... but also sane and functioning. The title is "Let Reason Hold the Reins"
I was about to fill in the entry form when I realised paintings must be unsigned, so I'll have to wash the signature off before I varnish it.
