This one turned out really well. It's based on a photo I have of the Mission in Carmel. It's a technique where we do the initial drawing in pen, then add color on top of it using watercolor. Some artists use this to do travel sketches, one of my favorites being Delacroix's sketches in Algiers. This kind of looks like those, so I was really happy. However, this might have been a fluke, because nothing I've done since has looked as good. :)

I loved this watercolor work the first time I saw it at your place; and still love it! It looks great even in picture. How about a mural on one of AR's walls? ;)
Hmmm, at that scale you would be able to see the ogres in the building waiting to smash unwary humans. ;)
Yeah, Ryan. I like this one a lot.
