Here are some of the illustrations from travels over the past twelve months.
Illustrations in pen and ink
Art
Wawel Castle, watercolor
Houses Along the Way
More traditional than my usual style. The thing about realism from an artist’s point of view, or at least from mine, is that realism provides a way to measure and improve your skills. It’s not the only way.

Chateau de la Flie (Liverdun, France)
We came upon this beautiful chateau as we proceeded upstream on the Moselle. It’s across the river from Liverdun. In Liverdun’s harbor, which sits well below the cliff upon which the town sits, we stayed a pitch black night, maneuvering carefully to avoid grounding in the shallow waters.
