I follow the winding path not knowing where I'll end up.  The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest.  A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization.  The light refracts in strange ways at this time.  It's when the surreal becomes the real.

Today, in the Kalahari Desert, he is a sentry while the others in his clan forage and play.  If there is danger, he will bark to tell the others to hide.  But, there is no danger today.  Yet, he will remain on duty while the others race and wrestle in the sun.

This painting would look best in a small-to-medium space that is red, orange, green, blue, purple, beige grey, black, white, or wood.

It's hard to believe that the Danube River use to be treacherous at this spot as it takes a dramatic turn to the south.  Everything is so calm an peaceful as we stroll the cobbled streets of Grein, Austria.  The autumn fog rolling over the hills and the water calmly flowing by as we enjoy our Riesling.  The bells of St. Giles ring through the small town.  We take a moment to etch into our memories all the beauty of the Wachau Valley. 

This piece would work in a space that is dark red, burnt orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, gray, beige, or wood.
