Unstructured

I attempted to be a little less tight with this painting, although I still painted it wet on dry. Parts of it work, parts of it don't. Thanks to Sarah Yeoman, the master of wet-in-wet flowers, for the reference photo, which I simplified greatly. The layout turned out to be a little awkward, because I really needed a square piece of paper for this and mine was horizontal, while the image was neither horizontal nor vertical, due to the width of the bouquet. But, enough self-critique: "Peonies" is my entry for today's #30x30DirectWatercolor2020.
