Sunny Window Red Geraniums

15x11 watercolor, brush only, no pre-drawing done today from life in my south studio windows.  I used Canson 140 lb cold press paper and #12 Escoda round brush only.  Although the sun was out our temps were in the 30s all day but it was enough to melt remaining ice patches.  My red geraniums are in a green plastic hanging basket and I've changed that to a clay pot here.  This is wet on dry direct method of painting.

Beautiful color - I love geraniums - and I like to use only one brush when painting - sometimes.
