All one can do is hope that trump is punished!
My painting keeps me off so much news.

Even though Bobert and Green are entertaining!

Until I got to the rim and it’s very crooked.
Not sure what to do. As I tend to ruin things fixing my mistakes. What would you do?

But my boyfriend, I went with for 30 years was a serious artist, oil paintings and watercolors etc. I watched him do a lot of work. I would say just keep on doing what you’re doing. I know what you mean about working something too much and messing it up. I think sometimes we tend to look at something too long and only notice what we think are the flaws

The painting is just so lovely. Great job!

Edit, forgot to say how wonderful and touchable the center of the flowers are!

Overwork your paintings at all, which is so hard to avoid with watercolor.

Your painting to me looks happy and charming and would brighten the day of anyone who looks at it! It brightened my day..thank you for sharing!

Have you studied under some watercolor top artists, to become this skillful? People say talent, and you have talent, sure, but it also takes real work, especially with such an unforgiving medium as watercolor!

👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
