Yes, that's right: Today I bring you an image that looks like a kindergartner colored it in their 5 minutes of free time.
I'm still trying to learn how to watercolor, as evidenced by today's card. I need to ask you to cut me some slack because I don't seem to be a quick study.
Thank you, Eager Beaver, for the beautiful sand paper RAK. I would have ended up cheating today if it weren't for your paper. I didn't have anything close to the color sand. How ever did you know? Hugs and Love, Ellen.
Anyway, I did manage to use today's colors of red, green and sand colors. No cheating for me today!

Anne, this most definitely does NOT look like kindergarten painting! I think you did a wonderful job! The image is beautiful - love the letter in the background. It sets off the lovely red roses to perfection. Beautiful card!

Anne, this is a GREAT job of watercoloring - it does NOT look like a 5 year old did it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the text behind the rose and how you framed it. Faved, my watercolor friend.

Oh, dear and sweet Anne, this is GORGEOUS! And as many others have and will tell you -- you are FAR too hard on yourself. This is NOT kindergarten watercoloring. It's beautiful, and Sallie is right about the shading and color variations in your leaves! It's out of this world gorgeous, and I love how you've used these colors! Beautifully done, precious and dear friend! Love you to the moon! xoxo

Anne dear, you are being way too hard on yourself!! This is fantastic watercoloring, NOT k-g work! This is so pretty and the script behind the flowers is a very interesting look. Keep it up!

Anne...you must know some extremely talented little kindergarten people! I LOVE the greens in your leaves and the richness of your roses! Listen to your friends! This card is really Great and is evidence that you ARE learning how to watercolor! I should say...Have learned how to watercolor. Also, having your script start halfway down the page is really effective. It makes your Beautiful watercolored rose more Outstanding.
