Windrunner – an intuitive abstract watercolour

Lately I’ve been playing with an intuitive art style, where I just start out with shapes on the page and see where they take me.  I don’t start with any kind of plan except perhaps some idea about the colours I’m going to use, and I just start painting.  As I paint, the image evolves and changes.

While I was painting this one, I was listening to the the audiobook of Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson, part of the Stormlight Archive series.  (I’m trying to re-read all the books before the newest one comes out next month!) So, when I was trying to think of a title for this piece (something I always have trouble with), I decided to name it “windrunner”, inspired by my favourite sad bridgeman.
