"Zermatt"

 

This is from a photo I found in a book called "1000 Places to See Before You Die." I decided to do it in watercolors and when it was done, I thought it looked a bit like a Japanese Woodcut. Quelle Surprise!

This is based on a screen grab I took from a wonderful movie with the same title. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Leaving work at the Belle Isle Aquarium last week, I witnessed one of the most spectacular sunsets of all time. And I especially liked the way it lit up the Conservatory! Bravo Mother Nature!

"Connemara"

 

Looking for some inspiration, I checked to the book "1000 Places to See Before you Die" out of the library. There were a ton of amazing photos in the book. 
I decided to try painting a few of them in watercolors.
