The prompt fireworks doesn’t come up until the 31st for World Watercolor Month, but I thought it would be appropriate for today. How on earth do you show color and light exploding against a black sky with watercolor? Here is my feeble attempt.

Oh, well. Although watercolor can look photographic, it doesn’t have to. I like some of the red and blue; the white and yellow, not so much.

I am participating in the Index-Card-a-Day Challenge and World Watercolor Month. For the rest of July, I intend to paint a little watercolor every day, just big enough to fit on an index card. Search for the hashtags #icad2016 and #WorldWatercolorMonth on social media if you would like so see what other participants are doing.
