Bridge in Edam, watercolor painting

by
This is a watercolor painting of a bridge in Edam.  The narrow canal is protected from the Ijsselmeer by a lock.  There are 7 bridges.  A bridge tender takes you through, biking from one to the next.   It’s a lovely place to visit, by boat or otherwise.

Woman in a Van Gogh Field

by

I joined with two other artists in Valencia to hire a model with whom we enjoyed working.  She is able to hold long poses.  Over three hours I painted her in acrylics and later added the clothing and background.   I took as inspiration for the background the landscape paintings of Van Gogh, with a twist.
