Description
This is my latest commission, I spent about 30 hours on it total since last Friday. I enjoyed painting every minute of it. It got me out of a rut that I was in. I haven't touched watercolors in a few months so I came back with a fervor! I hope you guys like it. Thanks for looking.
Story forthcoming. Done in watercolors, on Arches Hot Press paper.

You're welcome Dave.
Also thanks for letting everyone know about the ebay thieves.
I haven't checked-afraid to. I have not watermarked anything that I have done.

You know Dave, it is a shame, but maybe you should.

eh, I have the philosophy that once it's on the internet, it's on there forever. My other work, besides the doctor who hasn't really been affected. Eventually I might though, it couldn't hurt.

Did you use gold leaf or gold watercolour?!. unfortunately, amy enhancements one uses, whether iridescent medium( which I love) or golden and silver paints do not show up in scans...I love liquid gold leaf...but in scans the colour just looks muddy...arrrgh you can never win.

I used gold acrylic but it never shows up in the scan. If you look at it in person, it really shines
That would be a good idea actually!

Yes...I found that liquid leaf is always flat and muddy in scans...such a shame, just like my pearlescent medium...really makes my stuff shimmer lovely, but on scan it can look greyish and grainy...For Etsy..I would have to take a photo so people can see teh difference!

They need to come out with ways to get the shimmer in a scan. It really takes away from the overall look when you have a beautiful gold leaf and it looks muddy brown

Thant would be great! it would enhance so many of my works if scanners could do that!
