I painted it using the watercolors in my newest Let’s Make Art kit, which included some brighter colors. I think they made a difference in the finished product. Here’s what I used:

I like it actually. Some of the foreshortening is awesome. This one will go in the frame to be hung proudly in …….. Sydney’s bathroom. :-)
