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 .

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"
If interested in purchasing it contact me... Sorry, it's been SOLD
