I’ve been scouring the net for watercolor techniques, inspirations and tutorials and stumbled on an interesting post about Life in Color. The pictures they posted on the blog were grouped according to color and I did not know there were a lot of pictures from nature that did not consist of blue skies, green mountains and the cliche-d colors of nature.
For someone who lives in a country where there are only two seasons and the color of the leaves here consists mostly of those of the green kind, seeing the red and yellow leaves was a treat for me. That’s probably one of the reasons why I’d like to travel to the U.S., Europe or Canada someday. To see the different kinds of nature landscapes in various colors so different from mine here. 🙂
I was inspired to paint just seeing the burst of colors in the images.

In my mind, I imagined how God must have painted these wonderful scenes when He made the earth and when He did so, He wasn’t just limited by the primary colors in the wheel.
It’s amazing that like our world and nature, our life, can take on different colors as we go through different stages in it.
The colorful changes do not diminish its beauty or worth, instead they give it a different perspective and another side of its beauty.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. – Ecclesiastes 3:11
