This painting shows a canal in Leiden, Holland. Boats are pulled to the sides. Cars park right at the edge. You can see that I have tried to portray the reflections in the water of the boats, the colorful buildings and the trees. The portrayal of the cars is very simple — just a stripe or two of color.

Paddling a canoe has always been one of Tom’s favorite things to do. It seems fitting to post this beautiful painting on his surgery day. He has a long recuperation ahead of him, but if all goes well, he will be padding a canoe down a peaceful river in the near future. -SF

As I wait for surgery on Monday, I am unable to paint or sketch. In fact, I can’t do much of anything right now. So, I’ll remember happier days like this one – the day I went fishing on Sugar Creek.
