About The Artwork
We were leading (i.e., on call to bail out drunken students) a study abroad trip to the home of the E.U. and enjoying one of the 400+ beers available in the Brussels Grote Markt. The square is surrounded by restored guild houses from the 17th Century, most topped by gilded statues such as this one. It might be the Bakers Guild hall. However, the nature of the figure indicates that naked ladies were involved in the trade and perhaps also that Belgians love to make wry jokes with their statuary. Anyway, she caught my eye. I have a possibly apocryphal recollection that the figure is called "the broadcaster" and was a gift of the United States in the 1960s. May I outlive covid19 to lift a beer glass to her and to international comity once more.

United States
I'm a retired communication professor pursuing a new avocation as a watercolor artist. In my travels across the United States and around the world I pause for a 4x6 color sketch whenever an inspirational moment takes hold and I have my portable art pack at hand. I revisit those moments at my home in western Colorado by producing finished miniatures with reference to digital snapshots I capture on location. I have been at this for over 25 years and have a collection of several hundred paintings of great works of nature and of humankind. The most striking images evolve into larger works that fill the walls of my studio, our home, and our outbuildings. I show my work in art exhibitions near my home and now online.
