I did this scene of a market day in Zambia a few years ago using watercolor:
And then a few years later tried oil paint with a drippy turpentine wash on the same scene. I've finally been able to get a good photo of that painting to show friends:

i really love these two. they make me feel like a child, or it takes me back to childhood memories and how i see them now. faded and washed away by time, but with the central and essential details still etched perfectly in memory...with the surrounding context fading
