Watercolor Wednesday - Bird of Paradise

"Bird of Paradise"
watercolor
6 5/8" x 6 5/8"
For an upcoming birthday card/present, I asked a friend what her favorite flower was.  
(Hoping for something easy, but when have I ever taken the easy way out?)  
"Bird of Paradise!"  
"Really?!"….I replied, trailing off.  
But I thought to myself, I'm up for this, why not!  And how lucky for me we were learning different wash techniques with different brushes in class on Monday.  
I could avoid leaves and just focus on the flower itself by washing shades of green!  Win-win here!  
I really like how it turned out, I hope she does, too!
