Overworked

work in progress, watercolor,  4.5x6, 2012
Last week was back to school.  All of my waking hours were devoted to school or family needs.  Today I read a book for fun, and I watched my son and his friend play ladder ball, and I painted.  This one was much better before I reworked the leaves and stems and shadows.  Now it is too muddy.  When I realized it was overworked, I said to myself, "self-portrait".
