"Emerald Archway" (right) watercolour and ink size approx 4 x 5 inches unframed $300.00 CAD   Zagreb is full of some of the most beautiful architecture I have ever seen. Everywhere your eyes turn there is something astounding to see.

"Abandoned House in Krapina" (left) watercolour and ink size approx 2 x 4 inches unframed $250.00 CAD   When we visited the town of Krapina, which is in Croatia near the border of Slovenia, this little abandoned house caught my eye. I quickly retreived my sketch book from my bag to do a drawing of the house before all light disappeared from the darkening sky. Later, I used the sketch for this painting. Sometimes when I see abandoned homes I think of all the history that has happened in them. Each house starts as a house of dreams, full of plans, aspirations, and hopes for the future. In its lifetime, the house  experiences its share of successes and failures, joys and tragedies. And, in the end leaves a legacy of rich emotions emanating from it's crumbling walls, giving pause to passerbys like me.

"A Winter Wedding" (right) watercolour and ink size approx 2 x 6 inches SOLD   During a visit to Zagreb last December, my mother and I were walking through the Old Town of Zagreb one evening and chanced to see a wedding party emerging from an ancient church. I think seeing this winter wedding planted the seed for this painting.

"Zagreb" (left) watercolour and ink size approx 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches unframed $275.00 CAD     The city of Zagreb was clearly created and built by marvelously skilled artists and artisans.

"Windows in the Old Town" (right) watercolour and ink size approx 2 x 3 inches unframed $200.00 CAD     One evening Ivan and I sat on a bench in a park in the old section of Zagreb. We had a thermos of tea to keep us warm.  We felt enveloped by the beauty all around us. Over the stone wall of the park, we could see the back of several apartment buildings with some windows illuminated and others dark.

"The Beauty of Zagreb" (left) watercolour and ink size approx 2 x 4 inches unframed $250.00 CAD     I find the mood of Zagreb's architecture to be an unusual mixture of fanciful and solomn.

"The Beauty of Your Mind" (right) watercolour, graphite, and embosssing size approx 4 x 6 inches unframed $300.00 CAD Your own mind is a pathway to a marvelous land of pristine beauty.

"Without Despair" (left) watercolour and ink size approx 3 x 7 inches unframed $250.00 CAD When deep despair arrives, it always feels like it's your new best friend; a friend who will forever be at your side for the rest of your life, with no rescue in sight. When the despair lifts, you feel hopeful again. You feel delivered from a  dreadful fate. With this delivery comes a feeling of euphoria and a reconnection to faith. Your spirits soar. Now you feel fantastic and you are sure that this is your new permanent state. But, ah, some time passes and down you go again. However, the powerful connection you felt hasn't disappeared; it's only out of view for now. Sometimes I think that, if I can only turn my head a certain way, at a certain angle, I will see faith so close that I can know, with certainty, that I can walk right inside it again, even when I feel doubtful of its very existance.
