Painting Architecture Around the World
Painting Architecture Around the World
Someone asked me to consider doing a painting of an architectural subject so I put together this collage of a few paintings I’ve done around the world. These vary from China to Europe to the small towns of America and the plains of the Midwest.
Now I’m sitting here in my studio working on a small painting while so far today 69 people have stopped by to see what I’m doing via my blog on my computer. They came from places like Massachusetts, Iowa City, Santa Monica California, Dublin Ireland, Florence Italy, Budapest Hungary, India, Slovakia, and Amsterdam when someone in Manhattan stopped in to buy the two works I posted last Monday and Tuesday. Next Monday I will go to the Post Office (website) via my computer to print a shipping label and arrange a pickup of the package to be sent out the next day. I will have to leave my studio but only to go out the front door where the postwoman will stop by to pick up the package and scan it for shipping confirmation before she sends it on its way.
I wonder what my grandfather would think if I could tell him what I’m doing? He had to travel by horse and buggy to go to his work of building those barns in the early 20th century and come back home late at night. My mother used to tell the story how his horse would do something that my automobile cannot yet do. The horse would allow my grandfather to go to sleep on the way home and would turn into the driveway when it arrived home to wait for grandfather to awaken or for one of the boys to come out and open the gate to let them in. What a fascinating and changing world we live in today.
