And the winner is...

This is one of the dozen little ink-and-watercolor sketches I did yesterday as "thank you" gifts from the trial-and-error process posted below.  At the end of the day, I think it's less about the place than the energy I felt in the place. Because it's so small (5 inches by 5 inches), both linework and color had to be boiled down to just the essentials.  That's probably not a bad lesson for larger works as well.
