Paris in April

Paris is such an interesting city with so many things to see it's impossible to see everything. This is a bridge across the main river Sein which bisects Paris. It is a large river with a slow moving current. This is Ile, Saint Louise and this is the very end of it. The city is full of large apartment buildings that are at least a hundred years old with stores and shops on the street level and most of the streets are very narrow and picturescue. I can see why artists are drawn here to draw here (arf!).

Little Fishing Boat

I saw this little boat in Hayle, England and couldn't figure out what a small boat with a winch could be used for. (How about a small boat with a wench..) I'm guessing the winch is used to pull up the nets.(?) If any body knows please tell me, I'm curious.
This is an oil painting on a canvas panel 8"x10"

Day Lilly

This is the sure sign of summer. A blooming Day Lilly. We've got several different colors of lillies but I like this one for the bright colors. This is framed in a plain wood frame that will stand on a table by itself. If you would care to purchase it please contact me,

Bird In A Boat

I saw this gull who had taken charge of a little row boat and couldn't resist painting him.

Cafe In Paris

The waiters in Paris are quite distinguished and very professional. They all wear white shirts, bow ties, black slacks and shoes, a black vest and white apron under the vest. Very sharp. This is my impression from our trip through The City of Lights.

Netherland Windmills

There really are windmills in Holland and they actually pump water through the canals. The ground water is about six inches below the dirt, very wet. The whole area is amazing and beautiful.
Debi and I had a fantastic trip to Germany, France, England and the Netherlands. I took lots of pictures and will be using them for inspiration in the few months.
