  • Drawings and more from our boating adventures of 2020

    Set to the Oscar Navarro’s gorgeous Noe (Noah). Oscar is from Valencia. He was in the audience when I heard him for the first time.

    “Urk” is a port on the Ijsselmeer in the Netherlands. We visited it on our boat Viking in the summer of 2020.

    I write about it here:

  • Stare Miasto

    Stare Miasto, Warsaw. 11.5*16.5′, 30*42 cm acrylics on paper.

    An acrylic painting of a section of Warsaw, almost totally destroyed by the Nazis in the uprising of 1944 and beautifully rebuilt.  In the area I left blank, on the painting’s left side, actually sits the restored castle, a blank here to symbolize the Nazi destruction of it during the uprising of 1944.

  • Biergarten in Minden

    Biergarten in Minden, Germany acrylics on paper 54 x 75 cm/21.25 x 29.5

    The design accentuates the flow of the river from left to right. Children bath on the far bank done in impressionist style. The otherwise expressionistic painting has a rich and wide range colors.

    Minden is a small town on the junction of the Mittelland Kanal and the Wesser River. The canal crosses the river via a beautiful old aqueduct dating from 1890. It was my wife’s birthday so we chose this place, Biergarten Schiffmuhle Minden, largely because of the lovely view of the river from the outdoor tables. We enjoyed the schnitzel too.

    This piece stands in the Museo Nazionale Palazzo Massimo, next to the Seated Bronze.  It is life size at least, an amazing bronze sculpture.

  • Boat in Kalenburg

    Kalenburg is a tiny village that is split by the canal. It is perhaps the most lovely navigable canal section in the country. Geithoorn is overall more charming but its canals are too small for boats in the size range of our 12 meter boat Viking.
