Watercolor tutorial first try

There's an abstract watercolor tutorial by Cynthia Powell on the Digital montage Studio blog. (There's a link on my blog list.)

--Cindy, so nice to hear your voice. I didn't hear either the dog or the phone--good job!

Anyway, I tried it, and apart from being a lefhanded person trying to draw with my right hand AND a mouse, it didn't come out too badly, I think. Although I just looked at Carolyn's attempt and I'm almost embarassd to post this.

Here's the original photo, that I took several years ago at a renaissance faire.
