Thanks Britt! This is at the river Neckar in Heidelberg. Passers-by told me it is a restaurant boat. It was destroyed in a fire recently and is currently being renovated. Hey, it is NOT CUTE but MAJESTETIC ;-)

Thomas, that boat (ferry?) is so CUTE!  I hope that doesn't rail against your masculinity.  If it does, I can also say it's well lit with nice broken color, and nicely painted ; ).

Richard! Thanks for your comment. I think i will frame it!
A great opportunity to say thanks. In 2012 I did my first tentative steps towards painting with your videos "Ruakaka Beach" and "Atmospheric Perspective". I managed to copy your work to a degree that some people thought i am good at painting ;-) i was very lucky to find you and your videos. Also your warmest recommendation for barry's VAA! Thank you Richard, also for this great site!
It's tough out there and i am a bit scared of spring coming soon. Last year i was frustrated of almost every piece i brought home. At least it can't get worse than that. Thanks & Keep it up!

Hey good work! Congrats on getting out there. It's a whole different ballgame eh?
