Please do! Watercolors are a fantastic medium and once you get the knack of it you get a lot of mobility out of the paint. I'm all for being creative in general!

Thank you! I read your profile.. isn't a terrible choice that they got rid of Legend of the Seeker!? Such an awesome show (albeit far from the books)

I still participate in the Save Our Seeker campaign occasionally, but it seems like the producers and actors have moved on, so I don't know what's the point anymore. I think our best shot would be a movie rather than the continuation of the series. Some fans of the novels were outraged by all the plot changes. Since I watched the show first and then read the books it didn't bother me.

I was exactly the same way. My dad told me about how his friend said I would love these books years and years ago. I never got around to it and it wasn't until like half way through the first season of my parents watching it that I said "hey this is pretty good!". So I watched what I missed and enjoyed it greatly. Between the first and second season I read several of the books and fell in love. I'm currently on the book "Phantom" It's really a fantastic series.

As far as the show goes though, I loved the cast (particularly Zedd, and Kahlan) I still use those 2 actors the most as the look of the characters in the book. I honestly wouldn't mind to see a reboot of the show, more truthful to the series, something on the level of HBO's Game of Thrones. Although I can see many downsides to recreating a series like SoT.

Thanks Jason! Watercolors are my passion (although I hope to be creating more in Oils this year as well ) Thank you for the compliment about my approach, I am always learning and trying new things! I really enjoy the figurative work the most so I try to spend the most time on the characters!
