I have been working on this surprise anniversary gift commissioned by a friend.  This painting is 22 by 30 on Arches cold pressed paper.  Larger than any I have worked on before and more complex than most.  I went very slowly with this, and struggled in spots, but the recipient was quite surprised and I think pleased with it :)

    Wow, this is great! I'd be scared to work on a painting that big with watercolor.

    Kudos to you, Maria! You have done a wonderful job with a very large and difficult subject.
