Today's offering.  I like the sky, the really like the grass, the clouds aren't bad, the flowers...i really wish they didn't look like amorphous blobs.  I'm having a hard time with understanding brush control with flowers.  It is so much more precise.  Time ti return to YouTube.  There has to be a tutorial on flowers and fields out there.  To the interwebs!

My first attempt at a flower.  I'm happy with the water, the lily pads aren't horrible, the flower is a work in progress.  The shading kind of gave me a headache.  I think I need to study more pictures to see the actual shades of colors that come about in shadows.
