An echo of color, pulling apart or coming together. Dilation. . Sight or sound, I start to gather up each one you left behind. They tremble at the edge of my fingers. On the tip of my tongue. Almost. Not quite. Hesitant. A slight humming, an uncertain blush of color. A drop of water or the entire ocean. A TINT, AN ECHO (2019)

I'm test driving new watercolor paper. This one is lovely to paint on, feels like a dream, but does not work well for lifting...and colors are drying a bit muted (But it looks so vibrant wet!) Any suggestions? Professional watercolor paper that has good lifting qualities? #artistseekingpaper #applybelow

Another painting in progress (one of many). I think it looks like an alien landscape at the moment. It's taking me on a journey... #jennadecker #inthestudio #carveouttimeforart #art #painting #watercolor #alienlandscapes #dreams #visualartistinvisibleillness #visualart #visualpoetry #creativeprocess #womenwhopaint #abstract #artishealing #abstractart #artoftheday #synesthesia #artistsoninstagram #artdetail #artmatters #watercolorinprogress #paintinginprogress #painterly #workinprogress #arentweall

Painting in progress...taking a pause to capture the textures and possibilities. It's easy to forget to take work-in-progress photos, I get too absorbed...but this is why I love watercolor-- look at those colors doing whatever they want with or without me. It's why some artists hate watercolor. This is why I love it. Painting in free-fall. You can plan it out all you want, but the paint doesn't care if you have a plan. Let go. Let it flow.

THE POSSIBILITY OF REFLECTIONS Merge. Coincide. Blend. You and me, in tune. Harmony. Souls converging, Inhale and expand. The quiet intensity of symmetry. Meet me in the middle, meet me on that invisible line. Are we one, or simply reflections?

CEMENT FLOWERS 2019 Digitally altered watercolor

Inner and outer. Sky behind walls and earth inside skin. Blood vessels or blooms? Unearthing all the green and color back in the world. Trying to appreciate growth but feeling stagnant. It will pass. It all changes. It ebbs and flows. Even if it feels like you're trying to sprout through concrete. Trying to warm my heart with things other than sunshine. Not everything needs to make sense. ... UNEARTHED 2019 watercolor (swipe↔️last image is full size piece) 7"x5" #jennadecker

"The pictures were painted directly through me, without any preliminary drawings, and with great force. I had no idea what the paintings were supposed to depict; nevertheless I worked swiftly and surely, without changing a single brush stroke." Hilma AF Klint - 1. (Detail of) "The Ten Largest No. 6" Hilma af Klint 2. Exhibition at the @Guggenheim

Close up details of "Tender" (last image= back of paper/back of stitching). Subtle white thread on blended blues. - Stitched pathways, tender trailing touches, cold air. - Meandering through quiet beauty, snow under starlight. - You can follow me, but I don't know where I'm going... _
