I struggle with plein air painting. I think I get I struggle with plein air painting. I think I get sensory overload with all there is to look at. Especially at @mobotgarden! 
.
Last week we painted near the irises and I did a scene with a small pond that I really disliked. Hated. So I can home@and tried to wash it all off (if you've watercolored you know you can basically lighten what you've done but you can't really wash it all off) 
.
I stared at it and stared at it and finally went through the photos I took around the iris garden and just started a whole new painting that I ended up being pretty happy with. 
.
Will I ever go back to the other one? Maybe. But honestly probably not. 🤣🤣
.
Anyway, here is "Irises in the Garden"
