Kim gave us the following colors for today's Color Challenge:
Blackberry Bliss
Pear Pizzazz
Pool Party
Dessert: to use our favorite embellishment. My favorite embellishment for my watercolors is no embellishment. I want the watercolor to stand on its own and not have other distractions. Just me.

this is such a pretty PB image and of course your water coloring is a standout Sallie- it will be nice to see the birds sitting among blossoms again for real-

Love this, Sallie! How beautifully you blended the greens and blues on those gorgeous birds; this image with the sweet blossoms is perfect for the challenge today. I agree that your art needs no embellishment- it is beautifully perfect as is!

Straight into my favourites, Sallie! I saw the thumbnail for this when I was looking at something else, and just had to click through to see it. It's just beautiful! And I'm smiling at your favourite embellishment being none - I think I'm rather inclined that way myself.

Being the proud owner of a Hobbydujour Original (framed and hanging in my bedroom), I can imagine how stunning this must look in real life. Your watercolouring is jaw dropping gorgeous my friend. This is perfection on paper Sallie.
