I took a picture to figure out the lines, this is the watercolor with digital added lines to get some ideas of what I wanted to do

Cool, I like the method and result. Brings to mind a sunset over a beach with waves rolling in and a (slightly distorted by water surface) reflected set of power/telecom cables. Was there a specific image you were thinking of when you started or just going with the flow to see where you end up?

I just had the impression of the orange and yellow, and played around with it for a few days. I tinkered with the lines on my tablet first, then painted them on the actual paper.
