There’s an open air museum just outside Lublin containing houses, churches, barns and some bee hive structures unlike any I’ve ever seen before. Here are some pen and ink drawings from that visit. The setting is bucolic, with sloping meadows, wooden buildings on hilltops, a lake, a stream. You have a good view into the rural life style of area residents between 1800 and 1930. Some drawings and a water color from the museum:
My wife Peg is in the Night Cafe in Arles, France, made famous by Van Gogh. Original digital painting.
The original drawing is in pen and ink, below. With Red Lips is the same drawing but painted digitally.
My previous painting of Carol was in watercolor whose shimmering qualities gives a kind of what one might call a ‘spirit shimmer.’ This rendition tells more about her fiery qualities, her strength, her defiance.
This first is a Toulouse-Lautrec, if you can believe it
These next two are Sorollas from the Sorolla Museum
Hungarian Woman II was created from Hungarian Woman (http://www.garyjkirkpatrick.com/hungarian-woman/. Using a high quality photo imported into a drawing program (GNU), I can then work on it with a Wacom drawing tablet.
