For me, the Gouache seems to work best in small dabs, where lots of blending isn't needed.
The "leafy" landscapes seem most successful.
I used the same reference for the July 4th scene, and I like both results.

Since a collector wrote me and said that she was going to buy yesterday's, but it had already sold, I was encouraged to do a second version of the same one. They always turn out differently.

As was the case with the first version, this one can be cropped to any smaller size you need.

I was reading thru Ralph Parker's blog this morning, and he uses Gouache with both watercolor and oil style techniques. Figured that I'd try it, and on canvas, this technique is much better. In some places (the reflections) I've left the look of the thin watercolor application, and in the rest of the painting, I've used a more opaque application, like oils. AND bristle brushes instead of the watercolor brushes. Ah, much better. Isn't this a nice one?

There is a small pond in Amherst that my friend B visits most years in the fall. She has sent me photos.
Spectacular colors reflected in the dark water, so lovely, and I was thinking about Solomon in all his glory, not being arrayed as splendidly as God's fall palette.

This is another of the reclaimed canvases, with two other paintings underneath. I did sand the surface down before painting on it. The painting is a combination of brush and palette knife. Done from an old Barre (Massachusetts)  reference photo. I like the sky a lot, so moody, an uncertain weather day.
