Lily, Backlit

I tried to learn how to manipulate a photo in PhotoShop by adding text (with contours). This took a really long time to learn and the end results are darker than wanted them to be.
I’m participating in a challenge for the month of June: paint a watercolor every day. Here is my Day 1 effort: a lily. Part of the challenge is to paint without an underlying sketch or drawing. Oh dear. We’ll see how that goes. I didn’t wait quite long enough for the flower paint to dry before I added in the light blue background. Better luck next time, right?

I have had some good luck the past few times in choosing flowers at my grocery store.
