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.

Seeing your great picture of Leiden gives me the great opportunity of “visiting” that place virtually. Love all the reflections in the water. And your trees are so beautiful.

I love the bottom corner of the painting that is pure white, reflecting the sky. This is a beautiful place in person, and even more magical in a painting!

I love this painting and any painting you go that has water and reflections. I think that is something you excel at!

I think this is one of Tom’s more beautiful paintings.

You work magic with a paintbrush. I actually believe that I am looking at water and not just colors brushed onto a canvas.

A reflection is like a visual echo, only it doesn’t fade away. You always make your paintings “sound” warm, Tom.
