Default I did a watercolor painting of my xk

Painting has been a hobby of mine all of my life... it relaxes me. Usually I paint tranquil landscape scenes [Cape Cod moments]. I took a trip to Newport RI over the summer and my XK was parked with a view of the water in the background. It was a fitting scene so why not make a casual watercolor painting of the moment. Here ya go. Enjoy!

It's hard to get my cat to sit still long enough for a photograph, let alone for a painting!
Looks great.

Great, so we have an artist. What does/did everyone else do for a living? I'm in real estate.

Very cool, especially since I am completely incapable of any such feat. Hell, I can't even pick out art, my eye is still the same as when I was in college buying oil paintings at the flea market.

occupation...industrial automation sales

Very nice rendition. I appreciate the skill set required to do this and seriously lack it myself. As for the relaxation part...well now I just drink. I used to play classical guitar before I lost most of my hearing.

Very nice work.

A great watercolor of a terrific vehicle. If you haven't yet, hang it somewhere important so people get to see it.
