	Although he painted with oils, Kaep chose watercolors which proved easier to carry and provided him more of a challenge. One of his watercolors, a snowy scene entitled "This is Peru, Vermont," won so many awards for him, Kaep once remarked, "It's been very good to me."

One of his watercolors, a snowy scene entitled "This is Peru, Vermont," won so many awards for him, Kaep once remarked, "It's been very good to me." (3) In 1932 he was credited with a "new chapter" in the art of using water colors. In the twelfth International Water Color Exhibition at the Art Institute in Chicago, he displayed three paintings[["Rush Street," "Election Day," and "Burlesque." In each picture he "caught" people as they were which led the three pictures to be "distinguished by their striking huan interest, start realism, and general effect of life, movement, and human association."
