My own personal spring challenge, every year: daffodils. I started this without planning or drawing, just painting the flower shapes. I felt I had to add the darks, and now realize I need to bring them (or some other color, a background?) out to the sides ... and also to break up the line of flowers on the left: that's what happens when you don't plan!

The blue background really makes the first watercolor pop and I like the way you carried some of the background color into the flower for shading. It's a stunning piece.

Hallo Laura! Love your magnolia! The colors you added are beautiful. You know I made the same one? Page 7 of my blog. I did it in black and white. Your colors are an eyecatcher!
The magnolia is beautiful! The blue background is great. And the colors in the shadows are beautiful.
I am always amazed at your beautiful work, and you are always explaining what you should have done.
So beautiful -- both paintings.
