I sometimes get the urge to paint the same subject in both oils and watercolors. Each medium has its strengths and challenges and I find it refreshing (and sometimes frustrating) to switch back and forth between the two. The subject here is a street light in Portugal - the country where I grew up and for which I still have great fondness.

I did these smaller versions before beginning the larger paintings above. (I got to know this lamppost quite well!)

Very nice work James, It's good to see you are still painting doors and windows. I remember you were doing this years ago.
