    Yeah it is Magid intentionally, as Majid is pronounced similar to magic...

    Thanks for that info. I was pronouncing like Maheed. πŸ˜„

        Ah, I just realized that... It was really tough to reach 100percent similarity using watercolor, and this is the reference photo:

                On Jan 24th we delivered our project "SportyVerse" and received the certificate of course completion on 26th. Now I am living in Munich, for just a few weeks, applying for a proper job (as an architect, CAD/BIM specialist or rendering expert in Germany / Netherlands).
                So less spare time. Today I had the chance to spare some time and do this. The Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Amsterdam is one of my favorites.

                      Last day came across the St. Johann Baptist church, near my brother's stay. Did this for a friend in Munich.

                          Just spared some time to do some modeling and rendering as a fun task.

                                I spent a couple of years in Germany while I was in the US army (late 1966 to late 1968) and I think I drove through Munich but am not sure.

                                  I was mainly in Solln, far from downtown, and it was a cozy place.

                                      @gullfo Wow , good job Glen, I changed the composition somehow and it is not yet the best I am wondering how did you found the exact spot!
                                      This is the photo I used, and as you see I have changed the colors, light direction, and somehow the composition....

                                          @gullfo 😁 😁 😁 , without a clue (GARIBALDI), Google Maps wouldn't help you, you have keen eyes on details.
                                          Also contrary to public belief, I realized German people are very friendly. I went to a bookstore, near the GARIBALDI, talking with the bookseller lady about art books, etc, we became friends! She invited me to their villa near Uffing! His wife Reinhold also was a children's books illustrator. for dinner we met another cartoonist and his wife, We met twice again in Solln, she introduced other friends, and now feel old friends!
