Mysteriously Round and Round or Mysteriously Lying Down?

I finished an A4 sized illustration for the daughter of one of Thom's work mate's who asked me to illustrate her poem-"Mysteriously Round and Round" based on childhood innocence and growing up.
I did a couple of versions of this poem and this is my first- a girl with a spinny skirt. 
After a couple of quick sketches I came up with a different composition- a girl lying in the grass looking up at the sky.
I used watercolour which requires a a lot of patience especially if you're a beginner. Firstly, It takes time selecting the colours and secondly it takes time waiting for each wash to dry before adding a new one. Although the result is often spontaneous, it requires a lot of sitting back and waiting....which I am not very good at!
