Another painting done for a friend. I am under threat of physical harm if I don't start doing paintings for family members, so I guess that's next.

The first time I called this one "finished" and gave it to her, she basically said "This isn't done. Go finish it". Blunt, but not wrong. I am much, MUCH happier with this result. The first version had no background and much lighter, washed-out colours. I was too scared to keep going, as I am new to watercolours and a bit of a weirdo.
