    Well it all depends on the size of the painting, the small ones I can get done in a couple of weeks and the larger ones I can do in a couple of months. I do these on the side and am usually able to put in about 5-10 hours a week on them. The one above is the largest I usually do at 22"x30"in. That's a full sheet watercolor or whats considered the standard Largest size. Larger ones can be made, I once purchased the paper on a 40"tall roll by 15 feet. I ended up making my largest painting to date on that at 32"x 96" that one was pretty cool!

    Let me know what your interested in and we'll see if we can get it done! My Sizes and Prices are in the 1st or 2nd post.

    We could always combine some images like I did with Rick's with the lighthouse behind it. The truck was in his driveway and I found an image of the lighthouse that worked well with the angle of the truck. We can make it happen however you want!

    As an artist I have to say I'm inspired by your process. It's even more awesome to hear you're an art teacher, I know mine really changed my life. Sometimes I wish I started pursuing becoming a teacher but I stayed away from it because I felt like mine didn't have enough say in her lessons and the way she taught. But at least I'd be making money doing art, because working on commission has been... fruitless lmao. I like the way you use watercolor, I personally hate using it. I love popping in here every now and again to see if you've done a new one.
