After Midnight (17 x 23 watercolor) Available
After Midnight began with a lecture and demonstration I did for the The Watercolor Society of Oregon’s Fall 2016 Convention. For the demo, I painted the Munich Rathaus Tower six time in various stages of completeness. Below is the one painting of the six I completed:
Munich Rathaus (8 x 13 watercolor) Available
I liked the this little painting so much, I felt compelled to do it again in a larger format. But I didn’t want to just repeat the painting on a larger scale. The tower, like many in Germany, reminds me of fairy tale illustrations. So I ran with that notion tweaking the scene just a little to add a rather unreal illustrative moon and an impossible sky.

These are a few sketches from my travel diary:
Karls Kirk, Vienna, Austria (Felt-tip Pen)
The little figures in the boxes show the pedestrian signals in and around Karlsplatz which have been redone in celebration of gay marriage.
F.X. Messerschmidt Head, Belvedere Palace (Felt-tip Pen)
The Upper Belveder Palace has a wonderful collection of Klimt. But the room that draws the most smiles in the one that contains Felix Xavier Messerschmidt’s expressive sculptured faces.

Playing folk music on accordions in Vienna, is a street performers’ staple.
Details from the Jewish Museum, Prague (Felt-tip Pen)
Prague’s Jewish Museum consists of three synagogues, and and cemetary with explanatory display cases. My sketch shows an outside window and a detail from a case.
Viktualienmarkt, Munich (Felt-tip Pen)
The beer garden in old town Munich includes many green grocers, cheese mongers and other non beer vendors (the beer and sausage in quite fine too).

St. Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic (Felt-tip Pen)
The bridge is beautiful whether you are on it or looking at it from another bridge. It is also crowded during the day. This sketch is from the early morning when I had it almost to myself.
St. Vitus Cathedral and Cerney Sculpture (Felt-tip Pen)
Pragues homeboy David Cerney, has absurdist sculpture all over town. Most of it is bronze. The little bit from the Swedish Embassy is anomatronic, forever running.
