Oceancolor Painting

Above is an attempted watercolor adaptation of the Arcadia Beach (Oregon Coast) sunset picture (shown below). It was the first water color I've done since High School.

One thing I notice about watercolors (other than, by nature, its kind of a visually clumbsy and/or light & delicate) is you kind of have to adapt if, for example, you make the bird too big. :-)

If you step back a few hundred feet and take off your glasses, the painting almost looks real. :-)
