Not wanting to paint like anyone else, I try to think of a subject and ask myself "What would everyone else do?" Then, I think, I want to do what no-one else has done with this subject. I belong to a watercolor workshop on-line and we are given a specific subject each month. The seashore or beaches was the subject once and I live in Oklahoma. Where am I going to see a beach? I have memories of a family vacation when I was a teenager to the ocean on the California coast. Everyone else will probably paint beach chairs and umbrellas and kids playing with the sand. I remember loving the feel of the sand between my toes in the water and thought I would do that. Since I had just had a pedicure, it just seemed to go together and painted my pretty toes in the sand in the water.
