I've just made swatches for my new watercolour sets. And started work on a new project. I'm waiting for the paint to dry so I can continue with the doodling stage.
It's funny, I never thought much of abstract art. Or rather that many abstract art works have a whole meaning it is supposed to represent. It's never "I liked this colour combination", but a while blah blah story of what each colour represents. My art teacher was that way and wanted her students to be that way. It took the fun out of doing art for me.
Now what do I enjoy doing most? Just messing about with watercolours and markers. Also, I can't paint a landscape, portrait or still life to save my life if I had to.

I draw like a 4 year old. When I was in 7th grade, I was put in art class as a punishment. (The vice principal tried numerous things to punish me because my aunt had turned him down a couple of years before when he made a pass at her.) The art teacher realizing my inability just sent me across the hall to help in the special ed classes.
Had to love karma years later. My son's family is well known in this town. It was so funny to watch that now principal attempt to kiss my son's backside every chance he got. I did tell my son do not tell him who your mother is. Oh yes, my son took advantage of his name.
