the road to tarascon

my parents sent a postcard to me a few months ago from the Met in nyc. it was a van gogh drawing titled 'the road to tarascon' completed in pen and graphite. its a little blurry, sorry.
well, i was inspired to draw my own version. so here it is in ink.

I decided to add watercolor to it just to liven it up a bit....so here it is.
I think van gogh would have chosen similar colors. i like it. it now hang framed in my bedroom.
a side note- i drove 30 min today to the art supply store to get some more watercolor paper and some waterproof / watercolor tape only to find that it was closed. i often forget that most stores are closed on sundays. err...frustration.
