Thistles

r
I had decided to try and paint a totally watercolour piece the other weekend. Well....it didn't turn out as planned. Wasn't happy with the colours, composition, and more! So last night I defaced it! LOL I got out some coloured pencils and went to town. I actually kind of like it now, but I think I'll start a new one. Who knows what I'll do to that!

  2. Thanks, Anonymous! Whoever you are...mysterious! :-)

    It's growing on me. (Not the thistle, the painting!)

  3. I love it, Patty! I also know the feeling when something just will not come together. Sometimes success is born from total frustration.:D

    Jane, it was a spur of the moment thing, but it seems to have worked out!
