I started out with not much planning, just wanted to practice some loose watercoloring. Since I used the colors of Cosmos found in nature all on the same panel, I ended up with a purple and orange color combination and just leaned into it – but it makes me think of fall, so I think it worked out. I still need to work on my loose watercoloring; I just can’t resist painting inside the lines.
