9" x 12" watercolor

This was done for Karen Jurick’s, “Different Strokes From Different Folks” web site. She posts an image there and then challenges artists to paint it and she posts them back to the site. It is amazing to see all the different ways that people interpret the same image. Check it out.

For mine I decided to try a watercolor. Recently, I watched a video on watercolor painting by Alvaro Castagnet. That guy is amazing. Once again, he is loose and captures the essence of a place with as few brush strokes as possible. Something I strive for. So this painting is a result of watching that video. No comparing please.
