Today the tide of war has turned in favor of Ukraine. Still people suffer from Putin’s war of choice, Ukrainians and Russians too.
Ukraine: paintings of war

“Face It”- Abstract 1
“Face It”- Abstract 1
This is my first abstract painting, although I have done several paintings with significant abstract areas. Even so there’s more than meets the eye at first glance.
Two Houses on a Dutch Canal
We came upon this scene not far from Kalenberg, Netherlands. Kalenberg is in Friesland, which has some of the most picturesque scenes in the country. I have abstracted some of the foliage, sky and water.
Ink figure drawings
Some ink drawings and sketches
Chaos and economic ruin (anti-Trump)
Thatched Roof House on Canal (watercolor painting)
There are many thatched roofs in the northeastern area of the Netherlands. I decided to let this one veer towards realism to give the viewer a sense of what being on the boat is like in this country. We were moored around the curve thus the canal appears off to the side.
Cochem on the Moselle III
Cochem is on the Moselle River. We cruised there aboard our boat Viking. The view of the castle from our mooring was fabulous. I climbed the mountain for the views of the river and surrounding area.
This painting is similar to Cochem II, with variations in details as well as being much larger. To see Cochem II go to https://garyjkirkpatrick.com/cochem-ii-watercolor/
The lock at Haren (watercolors)
