Berries and mbps

I couldn't sleep so I was up in the night working on a new watercolour of blueberries. Rather, I was creating the background for blueberries; there is not yet any blueberries on the paper. I often find with my art that I am torn between realism and abstract work, pulled first one way and then the other, mid-painting. What is best, of course, is to let the work take me where it wants to go. Life imitates art, however, and admittedly I have never been good at letting go and trusting the ride. 

I have spent a good portion of today trying to upload images to this Artsite of my previous work. My internet connection does not want to cooperate. I am almost to the point where I am yearning for dial up, it is that slow today. I am persistent, though, and I keep trying.

And when I've had enough of the struggle, I will go upstairs and return to my blueberries. And practice letting go.
