returning to watercolor

I am looking back at watercolors from the 1990s before moving forward.

If I were....

If I were a month I’d be. . . March.
If I were a day I’d be. . . Thursday.
If I were a time of day I’d be. . . midnight.

If I were an animal I’d be. . . a gorilla.
If I were a bird I'd be. . . an owl.
If I were a pair of shoes I’d be. . . cowboy boots.

If I were a stone I’d be. . . a saphire.
If I were a tree I’d be. . . a mulberry so my leaves could feed silkworms.
If I were a flower I’d be. . . Queen Anne's lace.

If I were weather I’d be. . . a thunderstorm.
If I were an element I'd be. . . water.
If I were a car I'd be. . . a Jaguar.

If I were a color I'd be. . . blue gray.
If I were an emotion I’d be. . . joy.
If I were a gift I'd be. . . a pleasant surprise.

If I were a fruit I’d be. . . watermelon.
If I were an instrument I’d be. . . a mandolin.
If I were fabric I'd be. . . denim.

If I were a body part I’d be. . . hands.
If I were a facial expression I'd be. . . tears with laughter.
If I were a song I’d be. . . amplified.

If I were a sound I’d be. . . boot heels on a hardwood floor.
If I were a taste I’d be. . . fine chocolate.
If I were a scent I’d be. . . a flower shop.
