Watercolor Wednesday: The beauty of imitation

So much of life comes through imitation. A child learns to speak over many months of listening and eventually responding. Those of us who are writers learn to write by copying our favorite authors at first. Eventually, through enough words on the page, we find our own voice.

So too, I believe but do not know from experience, with other forms of art. My dad produced this painting for one of the classes that he teaches at a senior living center. It’s his take on someone else’s art, but beautiful in its own right. I love the layers of learning that it represents.

What are you learning, or imitating, just now?
