The Almshouses of Gronigen
Pope Steven V issued a decree in 816 requiring every bishop to establish an almshouse, (‘gasthuis’ in Dutch). In the Middle Ages these houses served the sick, the poor, and pilgrims. One of the almshouses in Gronigen was the first in Europe to provide housing for the mentally ill, allowing the public to peep through the windows on Sundays to observe their behaviors. Today you can visit the…

Thatched Roof House on Canal (watercolor painting)
Thatched Roof House on Canal, watercolor, 21 x 29 cm/8.3 x 11.8″ There are many thatched roofs in the northeastern area of the Netherlands. I decided to let this one veer towards realism to give the viewer a sense of what being on the boat is like in this country. We were moored around the curve thus the canal appears off to the side.

Once upon a zee
Before the construction of Flevoland, Genemuiden was a port on the Zuiderzee. It was granted city rights all the way back in 1275. Nothing remains from before 1866, unfortunately, when fires destroyed the town after haystacks caught fire. To this day there is no smoking permitted on that street, probably the only such designation in the EU. Judging by the 5 churches in the town there’s a lot of…
Cochem on the Moselle III
Cochem on the Moselle III, acrylics on Canson paper, 78 x 56 cm, /30 x 22″ Cochem is on the Moselle River. We cruised there aboard our boat Viking. The view of the castle from our mooring was fabulous. I climbed the mountain for the views of the river and surrounding area. This painting is similar to Cochem II, with variations in details as well as being much larger. To see Cochem II go to…

The Green Church
After several days visiting friends we set off again, despite the weather having turned to gray skies and 30 kph winds. One lock and a bit of cruising brought us to the moorings at the Green Church. Set in Flevoland, one of the Netherland’s recovered land provinces, the Green Church is formed by Italian poplar trees forming the outline Notre Dame of Reims. There is no altar or anything else…

Scooting across the Netherlands
In Haren we were forced to wait for the weekend to pass before we were allowed to proceed in the small canal linking the Netherlands and Germany. The canal is tree lined, passing through farms and scattered settlements. A small sign marks the border between the two countries. Across the border lies Nieuw Amsterdam with free moorings. You just pay for electricity and water if you choose to…

Singapore During WWII: the Former Ford Factory
The Former Ford Factory is now a museum about Singapore during WWII. Built in 1941 as a state of the art facility, it was the first Ford production plant in SE Asia after 15 years building cars in garages. In this very building the British surrendered to the Japanese on February 13, 1942, the office they used left as it was. The Brits should have invested more in the defense of Singapore during…
Rural Singapore
Rural Singapore, watercolor 21 x 30 cm/ 8.3 x 11.7″ Adding to the long series of watercolor paintings from my travels, Rural Singapore is the first from that trip. The large leaves, variety of colors vegetation, some which is not quite like what I have seen before, yield a strong impression of lushness befitting a warm and humid climate. The abstract elements provide diversity. We are doing more…
