Autumn Red Lights Canal

After travelling around the south of France, I've been moved by the Impressionsists, especially Monet.   He painted these canals, and made such beautiful paintings of the trees alongside.

 I started this painting while on our barge in France, and finished it back home in Sydney.

Oil on Sheet Canvas (unstretched)

Sketch for larger work...

I do many sketchy paintings, with the intention of working over them in acrylic or oils, 

or repainting the whole scene.

I will definitely re-do this sketch... 

But it has a 'primitiv' feel that I like.

Steps at Nikolai

•   Watercolour 30 x 40cm

It's morning here (Thursday) and I was hoping for a sunny day, as it's our last full day in Berlin. 

I love light and shadows, and the patterns formed.

Here is Bob walking up steps at Ephraim-Palais in Nikolaiviertel.

Berlin Shadows

A watercolour sketch of the Nikolai square near my hotel in Berlin.

I love the shadows that the large, medieval church throws during the rare moments of sunshine.

The Arps&Co Gallery in Amsterdam

A unique gallery that specialises in window displays in and around the centre 

of Amsterdam! This way the gallery is open 24/7.

At the moment Gabriela Hajzler is showing her whimsical, subtle art that reflects 

the concept of peeking through windows, seeing glimpses of other people's lives.

Gabriela explained her concept to us artists from the Arps Gallery Win/Win Project.

Here is a link to the gallery and her work:

Amsterdam Canal: a hint of autumn

Walking around the canals of Amsterdam today, I was taken with the colours of the city.

With the trees just beginning to turn, and the sun throwing warm rays ... unexpectedly, as it was pouring here yesterday.. I couldn't wait to get back to the apartment to do this watercolour.

The Effort of the Final Lap

The race to the end after 21 stages was ferocious! 

I love the images from Le Tour. 

These are my own, captured from the "live" TV action with my camera.

The blurs make each image unique.
