Back Off

Some times I see people who give the impression they wouldn't hurt a fly but when pushed they will tear you apart, much like a momma bear protecting they're baby. You just can't judge people by what they look like. Things are not always as they appear grasshopper.
This is a little drawing I scanned in and colored with paint shop pro.

Livin' Large

You don't see very many over weight people in Europe so I was surprised to see this large lady at an outdoor cafe. She looked like a happy sort and was enjoying the company of friends while having lunch.

The Brick Bridge

I'm still working with photos from our trip to Europe. This is a bridge in Holland I thought would make an interesting painting. Of course I took liberties with the subject to hopefully make a better layout. I'll be at Santa Cruz Art On The Wharf again this year with some of my new work as well as some old stuff. Santa Cruz, Ca. Sunday 7/19

The Blue Bicycle

I think there are almost as many bicycles in Europe as people. Bikes are everywhere. No doubt the Europeans find riding a bike much cheaper than owning a car, especially with the price of gas.
It is rather charming seeing all those people riding bikes on a sunny day but they look miserable in the rain.

Boat at the Dock

This is another interesting scene I ran across in the Netherlands. There is so much water in this little country they use boats for delivering goods and supplies.

Girls at the Louvre

A couple of girls at the Louvre checking out the art. The Louvre (in Paris) is the largest art museum in the world with the largest collection of art. From ancient to modern art, from paintings to sculpture, they've got it all. It's also easy to get lost, but if you do there's plenty to look at .

I'LL HAVE THE CHEESECAKE PLEASE!

I took several photos in different restaurants while we were in Paris. This is from a place we had lunch one rainy day.
