This month's watercolor session is inspired by the color pearl, a luminous shade that bridges the gap between dreams and reality. Pearl captures the soft haze before sunrise. It's a color that invites us to slow down and notice the subtle beauty in our everyday world, even when we face moments that feel unbearable.
Pearl has a unique ability to shift and change with light, much like our own moods and perspectives. Those who are drawn to pearl often find themselves appreciating life's quieter moments - the shimmer of rain on windows, seashells scattered along the beach.
Embracing pearl's calming energy can be a form of self-care, helping us find moments of tranquility in our busy lives. Create peaceful spaces by incorporating soft, pearlescent textures in your surroundings, or seek out quiet moments at dawn when the world is bathed in pearl-like light. Let this gentle color remind you to try to move through your day with gentleness, finding beauty in life's transitions.

Read to feel A.OK
It is a kind of love, is it not?
How the cup holds the tea,
How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare,
How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes
Or toes. How soles of feet know
Where they’re supposed to be.
I’ve been thinking about the patience
Of ordinary things, how clothes
Wait respectfully in closets
And soap dries quietly in the dish,
And towels drink the wet
From the skin of the back.
And the lovely repetition of stairs.
And what is more generous than a window?
