“Never look down to test the ground before taking your next
step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the
right road.”
– Dag Hammarskjöld
Laundry Day – 3″ x 7″ Watercolor on Masa
I had so much fun painting this little dude. It’s another photo of a
Belize
sight from Li. The fun thing about masa is the amazing texture you can
get. Personally, I am terrible at trees! Masa gives me more texture
than I would have been able to get, when left up to my own tree
laziness. I just don’t have the patience for trees. They have all
those pesky leaves!
About Dag Hammarskjöld
Dag Hammarskjöld, a
Noble Peace Prize winner, was a diplomat who strengthened the United Nations’ peacekeeping mission. Born in
Sweden in 1905, he followed his father’s footsteps into national
government, where he coined the term “planned economy” before becoming a
delegate to the U.N. and a two-time secretary-general. He negotiated
the release of Americans captured by the Chinese in the
Korean War, worked to resolve the
Suez Canal crisis, and was on a mission to the
Congo when his plane crashed in 1961, killing all aboard.
