First Lily of the Vermont Gardening Season

This is watercolor on watercolor paper and is about 8" x 10". I began this one last year and finished it this spring in the studio. It's a bit tighter than I like to work but it was a good way for me to get going this spring upon my return to Vermont. I needed to just start moving the brush! Speaking of moving the brush, check out Robert Burridge's Newsletter online: http://www.robertburridge.com/newsletter/artsyfartsy_june07/
He's a crazy acrylic painter who really has terrific ideas about composition, loosening up, letting the paint guide you, etc.
