Today’s WatercolorBook 1 Title: Red Berries This our fourth painting. I found some red berries on the road. I wasn’t sure what plant they are from. The looked like holly, but you don’t have to know the name of what you are painting, just how it makes you feel.

Today’s WatercolorBook 1 Title: Untitled I have a hard time remembering the name of this flower. I think it is Myrtle. They are all over Inverness, CA where I lived.

Today’s WatercolorBook 1 January 1973 Sunrise on Tomales Bay, Inverness, California This is the first painting in a journey that spans over 30 years of daily drawings and watercolors. It begins several months after I gave up the use of motor vehicles in 1972. It passes through the beginning of my 17-year vow of silence, the founding of Planetwalk in 1982 and my walk across America starting in 1983. Sometimes I will title a painting, and perhaps add some comment, other times they will be untitled with or without comment. I invite you to share in my journey and/or create your own painting journal. When I began I used a small elementary school paint set the kind with 8 colors and small sable brush that was used for makeup. I was inspired by Picasso and the story that he did some art every day. Enjoy and have a Happy New Year. John Francis
