It’s getting cold here in Germany. Fall has arrived. This drawing of the Banyon Tree in Lahaina makes me feel warm just thinking about it. I remember the warm sun, kids playing, the local guy angrily preaching to the sky, bottomless mai tais, and no surf. Those were the days. Mmmm.
Annotated Alaska – the images are out.
I took 13 watercolors from my many cruises through Alaska and digitally mixed them with a nice border visual. The border is a totem pole design. I call the series Annotated Alaska because I write on them; notes about location and a brief narrative of the moment.
The link to My Travel Paintings is working again.
Where was I when I painted the lighthouse? It’s a legitimate question, right? After all, I paint landscapes. I always know where I am. Right? The clue is in the book Silent Auction by Jane Cleland. It’s available for the Kindle, so you can have the answer by tonight.
Can anyone tell me where I was when I painted this lighthouse? I always write where I was on a painting, but not this one.
Die Burg Frankenstein von der Hauptstraße. This is number 9 in my series: It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood.
I love old travel posters. I am reworking some of my Alaska watercolors in an updated travel poster motif. They are paintings I did during my days working on cruise ships. It’s been a fun project. Give me another day or two.
Looking East from my attic window, over the rooftops of Hochspeyer to the edge of the state forest beyond. Hochspeyer is surrounded by the northern end of the Naturpark Pfälzer Wald (Nature Park Rhineland-Palatinate Forest). I do not have a clue about the purple tree. A nice couple lives across the street and I will ask them about their tree as soon as I speak German a little better.
