Took a chance with watercolor this time -

it's from an old photo of a Lake Superior shore. I was going to use the watercolor as a draft for a larger oil, but maybe I'll just go with this. Anyhow, oil paint is expensive and I'd need a lot of it.

Very strange as yours is the only format/post that I can't see the images.

It's not that I'm so determined to post my artwork, but I'd like to know why Postimages is being glitchy when it usually works so well. Does this link work? https://postimg.cc/Ty04RK0Y

Definitely seems to be something with the site, but even when you posted this early on... others seemed to be able to view it in the OP. I could not.

It was a long time ago but I kept the photo - enlarged from a 35mm slide.

Just as it is! Maybe print out a copy to paint over with oils, and make the print a bit smaller?
