Another painting...Germany/ Poland.

I best get back to posting some paintings... My intention is to find a GOOD inspiring workshop and get back to painting. I have to quit with the excuses and just get started. Especially that I have one of the two stained glass windows put together that I have been meaning to finish for the last couple years. Back to painting>>>

This painting was done in a class last year, worked from a photo I took when we were in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. We traveled there with our friends, Ken & Eva, to go back and locate Eva's childhood home. It was a cool damp morning and this hazy hillside was just down the road from the homestead that is still there. She had not seen it since 1944, when her family was forced to leave in the middle of the night during the war. It is actually now part of Poland, but was German back when she still lived there. We had a great trip exploring and visiting her relatives that still live in Germany.
Oil on Canvas, 20 x 16 inches.
