Postcard Painting #9: Geranium


GOAL: to watercolor a postcard every day in July (even if it's only a paint smear).
This is this morning's fourth attempt to paint a geranium on my back porch. The first three turned into mud baths. I tend to overwork...

Lighten up! Lighten up! Lighten up!

Beautiful; captures the hidden spirit of the plant, I think.

I always love your watercolors! From my mother's experience with doing botanical watercolors I know how many mudbaths it can take to get to the image that satisfies the vision.

Thanks, Laura and Crow!
I like putting paint on paper.
