Watercolor and a Poem

This watercolor was a demonstration for one of my class.  The lesson was pretty simple.  I wanted to achieve rich darks, that were very translucent and then I wanted to get well times scrapes using a pen knife. It is hard to produce this level of dark colors if you rub them into the paper.  Also stay away from the dark staining colors they don’t scrape or lift very well.   I never expected it would lead me to this poem about how confusion and frustration can lead to so much lack of focus.
