(115,879 posts)1. Nicely finished!
Is it from a photo or have you visited there? I've got some shirttail relatives in that part of the world too (one distant cousin runs a cat hotel near Belfast) - brother visited there last summer. There's some beautiful scenery along the coast.

Oils take a long time to dry. But the colors will mix and blend at your command.
Ive found watercolors can often have minds of their own, and dont always behave exactly as directed.
Masterful job you did with these! Such control.

I have more failures than successes.
