File: a-kitchen-windowsill-indoors.webp (28 KB, 512x512)
A kitchen windowsill indoors with several small square watercolour and gouache paint studies laid out drying, pale wet blotches blooming on one of them, visible water droplets on the sill, soft grey daylight from the window, a few paintbrushes and a jar of murky water nearby, hints of terracotta plant pots on a balcony just outside the glass above, muted coastal colour palette, quiet lived-in feel
water dripping on my paintings. okay but hear me out - I dry my little paint studies on the kitchen windowsill because that's where the light is honest, and for the last week something has been dripping down from above onto them. not a lot, just enough that one study has this pale bloom in the sky where the blue went soft. I went up to have a look and my upstairs neighbour has about eleven pots lined up on her balcony floor, and I think she wateres them and the excess just comes through. I don't want to be the person who knocks on her door about plants, she's nice, she once brought me a cutting of something when I moved in. but I'm now moving my work off the sill every night like some kind of art heist and it's getting old. has anyone actually had this conversation with a neighbour and come out the other side still waving to each other? I genuinely don't know how to open it without sounding like I'm complaining about her having a hobby.
