Watercolor Seaside

I promised a friend I'd put this painting up on my blog. I did it for my watercolor class. I don't know if I enjoy painting with water. It isn't forgiving.

It's my sister when she was four on a beach in Cape Town.



When I was down beside the sea



A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore.
My holes were empty like a cup.
In every hole the sea came up
Till it could come no more.

    This is unbelievable. I didn't know you could do that!! =) (but of course, you're an incredible artist, so why couldn't you?)

    Someday I would like to try my hand at painting. Just to see what it's like.


    Yes! Please keep posting your favorites.
