Here is my latest (40 x 30, acrylic). For a person who never liked texture in my watercolors, I have turned into a texture queen in this painting. Actually, I spent a lot of time toning down first natural textures that occur with this style of painting, then the textures that I created or saved along the way. Does it work for you?
It works for me. I like the balance and the colour and the sense of child like wonder and creativity. I hope it is all right if I link your blog in my list of favourites?
Thank you Vera!! I appreciate that you are seeing more that a painting for some kid's room. (The usual comment that I hear.) This is going into a gallery's window for a month. We will see what the local's think of it.
I am the author of Master Disaster, 5 Ways to Rescue Desperate Watercolors. Based on a course that I have developed over many years, the bones of this book give you a plan to finish your paintings--and even your bombs. The meat of my book and course, though, is to help you structure your life to encourage and accommodate painting. Painters have to paint. This is how to do it.

Yes! It works for me. Great painting, Sue.
This painting evokes a smile every time!
the freedom, wildness and spontaneity of childhood - love it!
I enjoy your rich, festive image! The texture definitely adds to the visual pleasure!
Susan, this is by far one of the most original concepts I've seen!
