Working on a sweet little #watercolourpainting. It's taking much longer than I thought. I'm almost done and will post soon. I also wrote a blog and a piano caprice to go with this #painting

A quickie on a Saturday night. Making this beautiful watercolour paint with lovely granulation from 450 million-year-old Maroon Graafwater shale that I collected in Cape Town.
