I love watercolour, (can you tell by my site?)  I feel it captures that wonderful state of oneness and beauty, of dancing with the universe, of guiding without controlling.  The process itself is a gentle and attentive play.

One of my personal dreams is to master watercolour, to study Asian, zen watercolour painting.

I saw an interesting artist, who also talks about watercolour and oneness with nature.

Her name is Drue Kataoka

Passionate about Nature

“Sumi-e is black and white, and also green. At the heart of the art form is a one-ness with nature. I am passionate about being an ambassador of Sumi-e for the 21st century, because embedded in this Zen art form are invaluable lessons of sustainability and renewal.” Drue captures the graceful arc of a rapidly growing bamboo shoot under a gust of wind in Bamboo Startup, a painting of a classical subject with a Silicon Valley perspective. “The rapidly growing bamboo, which maintains strength and flexibility, reminds me of a startup that should also bend but never break under pressure.” In Fly Me to the Moon an elegant crane soars towards a crescent moon in a Zen scene of tranquility and motion, calm in its ascent. The Dynamic energy of a flowing river is in delicate counterpart with the gentle reflections of moonlit trees in Twilight Courts the Moon. In Black by Black, Drue creates balance with a striking asymmetrical composition of misted mountains reflected in a lake.
