<p>[QUOTE="David Madacsi, post: 1553324, member: 13168"]A few years ago I picked up this watercolor. I did some research and found and artist (Brent Crabb) who had rendered the same scene.

I'm not crazy about it but it is striking and I have never been able to figure out the artist's name or find the original image it was painted from.

It's pretty amazing that you found a watercolor painting that somebody else did based on the same image.
