"Autumn Joy" 16 x 20, watercolor on Aquabord©

This is a wild one! Done very quickly, as you can see, with lots of saturated, dropped-in color and more intense color on top. I used my Incredible Nib © to lift out areas and used my toothbrush to add fun spatter effects on the bottom. My husband wasn't so sure about this looser approach, but I loved doing it!

This is a watercolor I started yesterday, inspired by a sunflower that grew in San Anselmo, at the corner of Lansdale and Center. I haven't painted in a while, so I knew I needed to be as loose and free as possible.
I was inspired by the sheer height and majesty of the sunflower and all the criss-crossing power lines behind the flower and the flat, blue sky. All these components together were magical to me.
I still have a bit more to work on, but I think I'll try not to over-do this piece too much!
