Ludwig & Jakobsplatz

I found a snack stand and got a curried brotworst. I drew a quick picture while fighting off pigeons and sparrows trying to get to my bread roll.

New Museum, old cans. Nuremberg, DE

I am so happy to be back in Germany for the summer. I landed in Frankfurt this morning to a very comfortable 9C. So much better than the 34+ that Hong Kong has been experiencing.  I went straight from the

Half Mast

I’ve been back in the States for only a few days and it’s been a little rough. There have been a couple of black men killed by police since I landed, and on Friday here in Dallas, a sniper killed

Shady Benches and a Cool Breeze

I’ve been going out at lunch with my coworkers to draw in the park a couple of times a month since last November. Today was a great day to go out, too. I found a bench in Adventureland under some leafy

Cherry Blossoms & The Bairinzaka Slope

The Imperial Palace was not crowded when I walked in early this morning. Apple and cherry trees were blooming everywhere, and those that weren’t, were budding out strong. Small yellow flowers smelled of fresh honey whenever a breeze passed. Great way

Jungle River Cruise, Hong Kong

Today was a beautiful day out, so I took time to wander over to Adventure Land at lunch. There were lots of tourists in the park as everyone is on holiday for Chinese New Year. I found a spot next

Bicycles and Windmills

Took a full day to bicycle north of Utrecht and the weather was beautiful. I brought a picnic lunch and ate it while painting a couple of windmills. Lunch was good. The bicycle ride was good. Now my legs are

Rathaus and Godiva chocolate

  My train was due to leave in about an hour and a half, leaving me with enough time to do a quick sketch at Hamburg’s Rathaus. As is always a problem, I needed a place to sit. Lucky for
