In writing songs I’ve learned as much from Cezanne
as I have from Woody Guthrie.

I thought I botched this. When I finished, it looked too dark. Some of the paint was still wet, so I was hoping that would fix it. Watercolor always dries lighter. I left it to sit, and I took a break. Took a nap actually. Haha.
When I went back to it. I was pleasantly surprised. Whew! I rewet a couple of areas where I had hard lines, added a little more color to help disguise what I could not soften. I added more turquoise to the large pad, and maybe I went overboard. But I like it. Haha.
The indigo areas dried sort of greyish. So I added sap green in some areas, more indigo in others. And I darkened a few spots. Haha. Yeah, I know. Changed my mind.
Maybe I went to dark over all. But I am surprisingly, completely happy with this. Some areas of the background look slightly grey , it is the paper texture. But I can live with that. Haha.
Lesson from the universe. If you are not sure, walk away. Come back later and play. 
It may have taken some time and extra work but the end result was worth it. This is super Sheila with some great blending.
Thanks so much Val. That means a lot coming from a master of watercolor.
Have fun today! We are almost there. 
Calling out to me: the juxtaposition of the symmetry of the indigo and the assymetry of the succulent greens; the up-close-and-personal set against the immeasurably vast; the surreal surprise of ocean water captured in the indigo. Well done, Sheila!
Well said Dotty. As always my friend, your description helps me to see my art better. Haha.
Thank you, Dotty 
What a wonderfully creative month you have had, Sheila, and inspired in others. Your ability to render form in watercolor is just beautiful. I love the variations in the cactus and the indigo, well, that’s just a soothing pool for the eyes.
Soothing pool for the eyes. I love that, Laurelle. Thank you
A lot of luck with this one. I do love the textures. 
I’m simply awestruck.
Wowzers, thank you Sea!
