Meanwhile ... Back in Germany.

I need to step back from art for a few weeks ... the final assignment needs full concentration. Then I'm finished with academia forever(ish).

But rather than lose touch I will repost some of my pictures that were really sloppy first time around. I've got some of my stuff from the Printers: I can access his computer (officially). I get it as a TIF file which I convert to a jpg

Here is the North Portal of Cologne Cathedral.

They look a lot cleaner than the last lot I showed you:0))


We have a show on Sunday, where I will be launching prints of the above castle (Neuschwanstein), Cloisters and Bellona in three sizes. I have taken your advice and typed a handout explaining the history/background/points of interest about each picture.

  7. I too was going to start with "Wow, John!" but I see the comment right above this box already has that going! LOL But still, "Wow, John!" Your drawing skills are just amazing. When I see these I think that you might be the one person who could handle La Sagrada des Familias (or however it is spelled) in Barcelona. I've never seen so many details drawn with such beautiful intricacy. Where do you find the patience and energy? Two things I sorely lack. Maybe that is my problem! LOL Still, your work is always exquisite!!

  11. This is the perfect example of "seeing is believing."
    I could never have imagined it was possible for this castle to have been captured so beautifully. Bravo!
