Open...

That is the theme at Sketchbook Challenge this month. I decided to paint apple blossoms opening up to the sunshine. This is the first time I've tried this loose, almost impressionistic type of watercolor painting. It was fun just plopping paint on without being strict about staying in the lines.Which do you like better? This...or this?

I'm crossing my fingers. I'd sure like to win that colored pencil set they are having a drawing for! I'd better go submit my painting right now!
Shalom!
