Why I'm proud of this watercolor

*It's for Paint the Peninsula and had to be done in 6 hours, which made me nervous.

*I didn't have my best supplies with me, though my friend provided me with great paper.

*I only had about 4oz of water with me. I had to use a water brush on the sky. (I didn't want to use saltwater on my good travel brushes.)

*I only erased twice. Usually my perfectionism kicks in and I wind up redrawing the same line for an hour, messing up my paper surface.

It might not sell at the show, but at least I got it done. Phew!

It has a quiet serenity--a feeling of relaxation on a tranquil summer's day.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh...........
