Again I am telling myself that it is the work that counts. There were many revisions on this, and I can see a few more changes I would like to make. But it is the end of a busy day, and tomorrow will be as well.  I called it – it’s done.

I don’t know why I so often end up with bouquets that are square. What’s up with that? I started with loose flower shapes in watercolor. I added a soft blue, green and a creamy yellow acrylic to the background using a palette knife. Trying for an aged stone effect but it didn’t gel. So I covered most of that up with a soft white acrylic. THAT didn’t work either. Burnt orange watercolor to the rescue.  A little better.

The vase was a soft blue, meant to look like glass filled with water. Laugh out loud. Covered that up right quick.

A for effort maybe. D for color and composition. A for having the huevos to post it for the world to see.

My Pinterest board for this challenge is inspirational!

    It looked fine to me, Shiela. I liked how you have a few detailed flowers and then hits at others. You have to focus on the positive. After all we don’t know what might have been in your mind when you started.
