Do a Little Doodle

This is for you, Mynx! I am venturing out of my written word genre to "do a doodle" for Mynx's contest to win one of her cute little paintings. I have never used watercolors before (heck, I haven't painted since grade school!), but after seeing all the fun you artist-types seem to have with your canvasses, I went out and bought a beginner's brush set, a paint set, and a pad of watercolor paper (too cheap to buy canvasses for my own pathetic attempts!) Any advice on using these babies would be greatly appreciated, as I really don't know what the heck I'm doing! Of the 3 paintings I made today, this one was the only one I that didn't make me either nauseated or laugh hysterically, so here it is, Mynx.
