Along Grote Markt. Direct Watercolor. 10"x8", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

Watercolor painting of buildings along the Grote Markt in The Hague. Two buildings abutt each other, with the building to the right taking up roughly 2/3 of the scene. The building to the left has two stories, with its top story in yellow ochre stucco and revealing a single window reflecting back the blue sky and shadows; its ground floor is white cement with a closed, windowless door below a dark gray awning. Angles shadows run along the awning and door recess from the sunlight coming from the right. The building to the right has a bright red brick second floor revealing a single window tucked under a yellow and orange striped awning. Its ground floor storefront with large open windows covered fliers sits in the shade of a large awning with the same yellow and orange stripes. In the foreground are various dappled objects representing chairs, benches and general debris.

Ruychaverstraat Corner. Direct Watercolor. 10"x8", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

Watercolor painting of an apartment building on the corner of Ruychaverstraat, The Hague. A large, assuming red brick building stands its place below a blue sky and over a small lamp post sprouting from the sidewalk in front. An arched, recessed entry resides to the left, flanked by tall slender windows to its left and a broad window to its upper right. The brick building is split on the third floor with a small slated roof and dormer window. A strong light source from the upper right casts shadows in the arched entry and shallow eaves.
