NETHERLANDS TRIP 2013In the spring of 2013, I was invited by my best friends to accompany them on a trip to see the Netherlands along with London, England. Being an avid gardener and a lover of flowers and architecture, I was in heaven. I took thousands of pictures on this trip and those photos, and my experiences, have inspired me in innumerable ways. The first paintings created from these references appear here, and I am sure they are just the start of what will be an ever growing supply of paintings whose genesis was this vacation of a lifetime.
