    How it might look on your wall

    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.

  • Thatched Roof House on Canal (watercolor painting)

    Thatched Roof House on Canal, watercolor, 21 x 29 cm/8.3 x 11.8″

    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 on the Moselle III, acrylics on Canson paper, 78 x 56 cm, /30 x 22″

    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/

  • Rural Singapore, watercolor painting

    Rural Singapore, watercolor 21 x 30 cm/ 8.3 x 11.7″

    Adding to the long series of watercolor paintings from my travels, Rural Singapore is the first from that trip. The large leaves, variety of colors vegetation, some which is not quite like what I have seen before, yield a strong impression of lushness befitting a warm and humid climate. The abstract elements provide diversity. We are doing more than just giving you what a photo could, another level of variety in form and color with which to feast the eye.

  • Canal on Skates: A Winter Scene

    Again departing from my usual style, here’s another realistic painting. This is in Den Bosch, Netherlands

  • Crossing the Bridge, white pastel on black

    50 x 50 cm/19.5 x 19.5″ pastel on paper

    “Crossing the Bridge” is a striking drawing that captures a couple as they cross the Mittlelandkaanal in Bad Essen, Germany. The path leads to the historic town, famed for its half-timbered architecture, offering passage over the waterway bustling with barges and boats.

    This original artwork is rendered in high contrast white on black, using conte and pastel on black paper. The artist’s skillful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and captivating scene.

    This medium-sized drawing is a wonderful conversation piece, ideally suited to bring a touch of European charm to your living room, study, or hallway. The monochromatic palette ensures it will complement any decor. Add this unique piece to your collection today!
