Influences are powerful

October peony 

9x12 

watercolor 

$200 

I got heavily influenced by on line tutorials and my new interest in Frisket. I got too influenced! 

I forgot everything I knew and made a muddle of a mess and here it is for you to see before I rip it up 

Actually it is not that bad. But it is not "me". The value shapes are too muddled. Is it just me or do you see it too?
