I'm Havin' a Heat Wave

This amazing spell of hot weather has made me want to do some loose and cool watercolours, or "watercoolers". The "nebulae" paintings are done with watercolour paint on yupo paper, which allows the paint to slip around in an easy way - just right for this weather. I had just read something about nebulae and found them very beautiful. When I slowly started to manipulate paint, I began to feel nebulous. There is art which is very planned, and there is art that "happens". The nebulae melted into my conscious. Nebula is from the Latin - "cloud". These are interstellar clouds of dust, and gases, some of them are very beautiful. I hope you enjoy mine.
