Corel painter 12 work

I have not posted in a long while. I have been working on reading instruction manuals for my camera,  Photo shop elements and Corel Painter 12. I purchased this software and a Wacom drawing tablet so I could do more work digitally.  I am including some drawings/paintings I have made.

A pencil drawing of lollipops from a candy store in Galveston, Texas. I remember these big bright lollipops from when I was a kid. The candy store reminds you of an old time store with ice cream and all those candy brands you remember from the past.

Watercolor of Lily in growing in a local park. Based on a picture I took las August. I was not as pleased with the end result of the water color. I was trying to get the effect of the bright sunlight and the shadows was hard.
