20131020 - Oy! The Dilemma!!


So, here's the problem of the day. I decided to do a pen & ink with watercolor wash of a photograph that a friend shared. It's a photograph of a thistle flower with a bee on it. As you can see, it's a wonderful, striking photograph.

As you can see,  I started to do the pen & ink work on this photograph. But unlike most of my efforts, I actually think I like this one just as a pen & ink drawing - without any watercolor added.

Oy! The dilemma! Should I leave it "as is" and just complete the pen & ink work. Or should I add color to it.

Of course, I might split the difference and leave this one as pen & ink only, but do another painting with watercolor. Decisions, decisions!
