We don’t always get a blank sheet

It all started with a desire to paint, I opened a sheet and saw it was scribbled with blue and different colours on left corner at the bottom of page. The urge to not waste a sheet initiated a thought that I carried ahead. Few minutes into the activity I realised that the tree branches needed some correction, there was lot of green on the sheet and I wanted to add more colours.

Colours used by my Son had already dried and there was very less I could do to blend them to rest of the painting. However, the determination to paint this sheet all and merge his thoughts with mine got me going. The end product is what you see. The entire process just reiterated the importance of moving on, taking days one at a time and keep giving our best efforts. We don’t always get a blank sheet but we can still make it beautiful.
