Kia gave us a very pretty watercolor challenge this week:
I watercolored it all and then cut out my dragonfly. I gave it legs with a black pen after it was taped on. I drew a few flowers and did black and white splatters.
Ha....I looked to the left of the dragonfly after I took the photo and thought I saw two bulging eyes next to the border. I thought it look like a frog. I love to see what images paints and water can make. Probably no one think it looks like that except me.

Brenda, what a happy result this is! I love the bright, cheerful colors and fairy-garden-like scenes. It brings joy to my heart to be taken into your painting this morning! (Newp... I don't see the eyeballs you speak of... lol)

I am in awe of those attempting these water colour challenges! This is a wonderful water coloured scene! I love dragon flies and you have really captured their essence!

Giggling because I probably would have missed the frog but once you drew my attention to him - well - I can't UNsee him now. LOL Nicely done on the dragonfly and keeping pretty much mirror image from left to right. I often struggle with trying to get my wings on these thing similar in size & shape from one side of the body to the other.
