This weeks inspirational word was 'bamboo'. I'm using IMT as an excuse to develop my watercolours, so I used them again. When thinking of bamboo the word 'resilience' always come to mind, and I wanted to paint something that shows bamboo withstanding the elements. So I tried to paint it as if it was in a rainstorm. Hope I managed to pull it off. I didn't have any images of bamboo, so it might not look very accurate, I just made it up. This was much fun - very messy and wet, I have splatter stains all on my wall and floor! Let me know what you think.

Think you've captured it perfectly... & doesn't everyone have splatters all over everything, lol??
You did a great job with this. I can feel the driving rain in a tropical storm.
I love bamboo, my house if filled with it like a hut on Gilligan's Island. Oh, and have you ever used a bamboo bath towel? Paradise.
It's a lovely picture. It looks like it was fun to do.
Beautiful result! Bamboo, supposedly, has the highest vibration in the plant world. You captured it perfectly.
Haley, dear, I love your War Child effort. If you could e-mail me privately, I would like to send a wee donation by mail. Our bank's charges for conversion are just too high (and wasteful) to use. Visit me at www.awakenedliving.com. You'll find my email address there. Love, love...
Spirit Whispers: Splatters are obligatory, surely?! ;D
Hibiscus Moon: Thanks! No, I have not had the luxury of a bamboo towel yet *sigh*, perhaps one joyful day!
sunymama: Yes, it was much fun thanks!
Jan: I never knew that, quite interesting . . . *ponders*. And as for the donation thing, I just emailed you, and all I can say is I love you! You are just too kind xxxxx
