Brugge, Belgium
Brugge, Belgium
W/C Brugge is a fascinating medieval city, but unlike the half-timbered buildings of Germany, they are mostly stone. It was intriguing to see the very wide avenues/streets. This was unusual for most cities of the time. As usual, I was fascinated by the canals and reflections. This was a sunny day in January and later that day it began to snow. We wondered through the town and of course enjoyed the Belgium truffles.

Gibralter
Gibralter
W/C Although Gibraltar is famous for its strategic location, I found the rock and the monkeys that live on the rock, during this visit in late spring also interesting. I found the town charming and fascinating to paint. Of course it has a distinct British influence to the village.
Artist note: I was deployed with the USAF at the Spanish Base Aero de Moron, near Seville. This provided a wonderful opportunity to paint in Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and Morocco
