WIP Chrysanthemum. My process

These are the notes I took while making Chrysanthemum.  I struggled with this one - the paint and water took me to a different place than I had originally envisioned and I had a hard time going with the flow.  In the end, I am happy with the piece and where it led me.  Sometimes it's best to sit back, trust the process, trust yourself and let go of what was originally in your head.  99.9% of the time, that zen state that you go into while painting is going to lead you in the direction you were intended to go to in the first place.  Lesson learned!
