I decided to try again on one of last year's paintings. First the 2014. Then the 2015. Not sure much improved. In fact I think I like last year's better. Maybe some ink on the second one will help. And a redder red. I also think the perspective is off. foreground cars should be larger.

Here's a rendition of a scene in England. Perspective isn't right. Will try again.

I'm taking Intermediate Watercolor from Jo Myers-Walker. Here are a couple of pages I've drawn in my journal:
