Hearts and Flowers

A few posts ago, I mentioned the Valentine's card from my daughter and my attempt to recreate it.  This was more about fun than working on skills.  However, I have a long way to go with watercolor technique and every bit of practice is a good thing.

Left side - testing out the brand new waterbrush.

I've seen this close up, angled, shallow depth of field shot on other artistically-inclined blogs and it seems to add a certain amount of coolness...

Coolness here?  Hmmm.

And the traditional shot.  Thank you talented card-creating artist for your lovely design.  And thank you daughter for giving it to your mother!
