First painting of March

"Billy George Jr."
I like how this turned-out, mostly.  I'm really beginning to appreciate the difference that good watercolor paper can make.  When I was in Iceland, Elin's dad, Tryggvi, introduced me to watercolor blocks.  I came home and picked-up an arches block (20 sheets, 140 Kb, cold-pressed, 9.5x12).  I am so happy with it!  No taping, no enormous boards...all I have to is run my Opinel around the edge when I'm finished.

The painting is unofficially named after a co-worker in the City of Ann Arbor.  Who happens to be an extremely enthusiastic vegetarian.
