Independence Day

15x11 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper from my photo taken over the 4th July weekend at Century21, Alto, New Mexico. With Old Glory draping the deck scene and a pot of red geraniums cheering it on, the nice sunny day says "Let Freedom Ring!"

I used #28 round brush with NO pencil drawing, simply getting what I wanted to say said in one go.
