Freight at Dusk (16 x 21 watercolor) $600
I drive through Albany on my way to Art in the Valley several times a month. Crossing over the railway bridge I admire the trains, but there’s no place to pull over and stop. So last month, I made a point of pulling into the station and walking up the bridge to photograph the trains. I may do it again at a different time of day.

Via Miranda (watercolor 9 x 19) $250
From Miranda del Castanar, all the views are vistas but all the vistas are framed by narrow streets. This little half timbered village, with a population of less than five hundred is a joy to wander.
The View From Miranda (watercolor 11 x 19) $300
The paintings are the same length but different widths and would make a nice set. They are available either individually or discounted slightly as a set.
Prints are available here.

This is Seville’s Plaza de Espana where Spain held the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. Seville went all out for this World Fair venue. The plaza is a beautiful mix of Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles.

Leaving Segovia (watercolor 23 x 16) $600
Driving out of Segovia’s old town ends with a spectacular view of the aqueduct. But driving out on a rainy night, is like driving into an impressionist painting.

Mudejar Arch (watercolor 13 x 18) $400
During our trip to Spain, I fell in love with the mudejar horseshoe arches. This particular arch is in the Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija in Seville. The Palace is an architectural hodgepodge, with mudejar and Renaissance elements and ancient Roman mosaic floors.

Setenil Fortress (watercolor 15 x 24) $600
Setenil de los Bodegas of Cadiz Province, Spain is one of the more interesting pueblos blancos of Andulacia. Unlike most pueblos blancos it occupies either ridge of a valley rather than a hilltop. Many of the houses are semi-troglodyte, occupying shallow caves in the valley walls. One street includes a natural tunnel.
The view in this painting is from our apartment porch in Setenil looking across at the old castile.

View From The Cloister (watercolor 15 x 23) SOLD
This is Westminster Abbey as seen through the wrought iron work of the cloister. It is the view visitors now see just before they exit the abbey complex. But for hundreds of years it was the view seen by the monks on their way to services.
This painting has sold but you may still purchase a fine art print.

Snapshot Cafe (watercolor 14 x 23) $600
Despite the lack of canals and only a single bicycle, this is Amsterdam on a summer evening. But it could be anyone of a number of European street scenes.
The title is a bit of a pun. I painted the picture from a series of snapshots, and girls in the foreground are sharing a snapshot. I hope the atmospheric nature of the painting has little to do with snapshots.

Pillars of the Humanities (watercolor 17 x 21) $600
This is my first painting since returning from our month long odyssey to Europe. I began with the Pantheon in Paris. I made the cream colored columns vibrant to match the intellectual vibrancy of the persons buried in the crypt: Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Emile Zola, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Louis Braille, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, Alexandre Dumas.

There is still a Chinatown in Victoria, B.C., but it’s only a few blocks long now. The Fantan Cafe dominates the street. It’s still a fun and colorful place to visit. The entrance arch remains, and they still hang Chinese lanterns.
