European miniatures.

Meisenheim am Glan, 5 x 7, pastel on board

In July, John and I traveled to central Europe. One of our first stops was the town of Meisenheim, Germany, where my great-grandfather, Emile Goela was born. It was a lovely, preserved medieval town and we had a wonderful time exploring the village and eating bratwurst and beer.

Our next stop was Strasbourg, in the Alsace area of eastern France. The old city has a waterway surrounding it. The buildings are mainly half-timbered and brightly colored with beautiful reflections in the water.

Strasbourg Reflections, 5 x 7, pastel on board.

Note: all of the miniatues are for sale for $125, including packing and shipping. I'll put up subsequent postings with the remaining 7 paintings.
