"Treat Yourself" was a real Mount Everest for me! My watercolour Moby Dick!

I tried painting this painting three times, and every time it felt slightly wrong. I had a vision in my head of what it should look like, and every time I looked at it, it was missing something. I realised that the vision in my head might be ahead of my skill set, so I made a deal with myself that I'll try to repaint this piece in a few years to see if I'm closer to my vision. I'm honestly kinda excited about it!

This one is the closest to my vision, and even if it was a bit of a struggle (but in a good way), I am really happy with how it turned out!
