Well, my babies started back to school today, and I’ve had this song running through my head all day! I guess I must be missing them. *understatement* Since, the start of school marks the end of our summer vacation, I decided to cap of my Summer of Water painting adventure with this last one. I really took a break from the series  last week, but I thought it could use one more hooray! I’ve really enjoyed the discipline of painting each day (or at least  most days) and also sharing them for accountability. I know I want to continue drawing or painting or lettering each day in order to hone my skills and explore those nagging ideas, but I haven’t quite decided on my exact plan. I’ll keep you posted on that! Meanwhile, thanks so much for sharing all your encouragement this summer through the Small Pond Facebook page! I hope you’ll take a look at the whole 2014 Summer of Water series and let me know your favorites!

Playing around with a chevron colorway tonight. My daughter has been telling me she likes where the paint colors “run together.” She’s learning about watercolor through this adventure!

I’m really trying to take this advice to heart as the children and I plan for a new school year beginning in a couple of weeks. I’m really wanting to keep that balance of seeking healthy opportunity and healthy contentment for myself and for them.
