Practicing watercolour

This is a zoom in of a recent painting I've done , it's a part of a bicycle wheel , paving and a wall.  I quite like how Watercolour bleeds into the shape you desire , has a kind of freedom about it , like who cares that the bike reflector turned into a orange blob, the joy of art is although people can give critique ,it can't actually be wrong, art can't go wrong if you say that's how it's meant to be. Watercolour allows me to not be obsessive over the edges like with other mediums, it's fun, I'm not all that great at it, but it is a learning curve for me.

Manor Road , Dorset

Swanage Dorset , i was about 12 years old & it was a holiday with my family, we stayed in a large house which belonged to my Dad's Friend. it was a lovely house with lots of rooms and outlook to a street i remember a white house with blue window frames, and the house we was in sat at the top of a steep hill , you went round the corner and you could see over the town to the sea. it was very nice. my room looked out that way ,i remember a lot of ivy had taken over a few windows and wouldn't let my sister open it in case of spiders, the back garden somewhat resembled the gate to secret garden too.
Anyways i thought i would paint the street that i remember,  the house we stayed in is on the left . with the Ivy!
