Thoughts and feelings expressed in visual form... More art from me!

I decided to sketch and paint a flower.  I tried the technique out yesterday that I found on a website.  The first outcome wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.  I decided to paint it purple and here it is.  

At first I wasn't going to attempt another one until I got the idea that I could make another and take pictures of the process and then make a gif of the process.  I must say that it's a pretty nifty idea.  I got the idea to take the pictures that I took of each step of the process and then turn it into a gif from @SirSensei.  Thanks for the idea!   

Each step is included here in the gif that I made.  I used 8in x 8in  140lb watercolour paper, black colored pencil, basic watercolour paint for the center and the outline and then metallic watercolour based paint for the petals and background.  

I really hope you like it and like always please give your ideas and suggestions! Also here is a final .JPG of the flower art

I really like my final piece and outcome.  I didn't think that I would like it as much as I do.  I figured it was just going to be another piece of art that I make, take pictures of and post here on steemit but something about this piece makes me want to go out and buy something to frame it and keep it.  I supposed that is a good think?

Now the finally outcome.  Both pieces of art from last night and today.  The purple and pink.  I wonder which one you all like the best?
