This is the gift for my American watchers. This includes both the US and Canada -- in this comment I will refer to both of you as Americans, hope the Canadians won't mind.

If you don't know what the hell this is about, do check out the previous gifts here [link] and here [link]

This is the first painting made with new watercolours I got for Christmas. I love them.

There are always so many Americans around that I'm not sure if I can specifically thank all the relevant people. But I try. Please hurt me if you feel neglected.

Thank you ~Everruler and ~godricsdragon for hanging around, and ~billyunderscorebwa for giggling a lot. Thank you *Alsafysh for seeing something of what I aim to express, and helping me to gain back my confidence as a wannabe-artist. And ~IceOcean, keep the comments coming, I appreciate them a lot.

And thanks =cdn1 and ~Violet-Princess and ~plaidskoogrl and ~PDSTICKMAN and whoever has given me several comments or faves, or just likes to be randomly mentioned. Thanks

(Again, whomever of my American watchers comes to Finland to claim the original painting, will get it -- so hasten your horseys now )

Reference for the lady was High Winds by *mjranum-stock and for the background Dereliction 28 by `pendlestock.
