Members April Watercolour Challenge - Olden, Norway

Here's my attempt at April's watercolour challenge. I tried to treat it like any other painting (fast and loose without fuss) but it did feel a bit like a commission as I knew many of you had painted this (quite successfully I might add) so I did feel a little more pressure than normal. Hope you like it. Now I'll turn my attention to May's challenge and sort out what we are going to do.
