Forgotten farm
The wheelbarrow hints that there is still work to be done. This farm lives on as a permanent fixture in my memory. The ducks clearly appreciate the farm's calm tranquility. Actual size: 38cm X 61cm Technique: watercolor
Behind closed doors
The wattle and daub is flaking off, exposing the old underlying clay, stone, patches and holes, and wandering cracks like so many wrinkles on a human face. Actual size: 50cm X 49cm Technique: watercolor
Uninhabited
Squeaky shutters, creaky beams, a trembling roof, the house's age shows. Here, a personal story meets history with a capital "H". Actual size: 49.5cm X 48cm Technique: watercolor
Clucking
A chicken along the wall eating bread crumbs… A French nursery rhyme for these domesticated hens. The chicken coop has always enjoyed citizen's rights in Alsace. Actual size: 40cm X 73cm Technique: watercolor
Near the barn
A few disjointed planks, a few pots stored away, a few autumn leaves, the intimacy of this corner of the garden. Actual size: 69cm X 52cm Technique: watercolor
Traditional facade
Always upright and proud in its old-stone garb. Beings so fleeting, a place so permanent. Actual size: 60.5cm X 46.5cm Technique: watercolor
The weight of absence
All of a sudden, a stray tile, like a gap on a perfectly regular roof. Unhinged shutters, doors cracked open… signs of life. Actual size: 52.5cm X 55cm Technique: watercolor
Blue hues
Infinitely fragile and yet so strong at the same time, a few slender wood beams, a few stones, and a roof… Actual size: 57.5cm X 43cm Technique: watercolor
Snow-covered cabin
Nature begins its winter sleep. The season's first cold spell… A few faint tracks in the snow. Actual size: 57.5cm X 45cm Technique: watercolor
