classwork

                            8x10
A couple of flower paintings from my expressive watercolor class that I wish were more expressive.
It's weird how you can get caught up in trying to replicate what you're looking at even when that's not what you want.
In my case I wonder if it isn't because no matter how unhappy I may be the results, that's the process I'm comfortable with. 
If I were actually to get expressive I'd have to go somewhere I'd be uncertain.

Well, I love the top one - and think it’s expressive enough due to the soft and blurred bits you left, making the hard edges even more interesting - love the colors, too.

Thank you, Rhonda! Rhododendron leaves are great to paint!
