The architecture, the signage, the trees & all the various textures, they all rock! Brilliantly executed!

OMY! This turned out so BEAUTIFUL! I am so excited how great this is! I love everything about it especially the rock in front! Superb detail! You mind me asking how you did the signs? I have a commissioned piece coming up and it has many signs in it among of which are an old cocacola sign and a beer one ect. Did you do them freehand? I bet this will sell quickly, I have loved watching you grow in your work since I first met you here on DA!

OMG! its done and it gorgeous!
i tend to not like watercolor all that much because most pieces i see are very light ... and well, watery. haha
but your watercolor has such intensity.... the colors are vibrant and in your face. the piece looks very solid and alive!
beautiful!!!

Incredibly kind words. Thank you soooo much. I love watercolor paintings but I dont like working with them as much. I think they are way hard to work with and unlike other paint types, if you cant draw or you make a number of technical mistakes in the drawing, its going to show. I made a deal with myself that I would not work in another medium until I finished at least 15 full sheet watercolor paintings. I am at the half way point now.

lol Thank you lots. I have a few things that I am not happy with in the painting but over all I thin kit turned out pretty good. I think I am just being too picky. I had better start a new painting before I decide to go back and rework areas on this one.
