More of my work

I can't figure out how to post a gallery of my work on here, so I am having to include each in a post. Here is the first watercolor I've done since the one in high school. It was done from a photo and I hope to do more like it. I love how this piece turned out, except that it doesn't look at all like a watercolor. Because my previous artistic experience is with pencil, I don't really know how to simply wash the colors on without over working them, over blending them. I really should take another watercolor class, so that I can learn how to use the paint to get the effect I want. I'll add that to the "To Do" list....
