Here is another recent one, done in 09. This was shortly after I started really getting a feel for watercolor, knowing when to stop adding so much paint so it wouldn't turn out all muddy. After adding the black ground over the red-orange of the sky, I turned it upside down and let the long streaks of black snake down by themselves (all of them getting just a little push for a head start, of course), and they all stopped right at the white clouds, because of the paper being dry there. I liked how it turned out, the black trailing to the yellow white of the clouds reminds me of a pint of guinness with thick head.
