I love how there's a story behind a painting. This artist could no longer afford to have wine with his bread, so instead, he has water.

I really liked this one with the vibrant blue flowers. This may inspire a fused glass panel down the road!

This woman's face could not have been better portrayed had this been a photograph!

We had a fascinating tour of a working windmill.
Reisender
Keep in mind, the person running the mill lived there with his family. Here bread was baked for the milling community.

This is where the miller turned the direction of the mill. The top part holding the paddles rotates to align with the wind stream.

A combination of a Moses story and a Harry Chapin song(Cat's in the Cradel). You 2 are probably too young to know that song from 1974.
Reisender C'mon Daniel, that's my era of music! I can sing 'Cat's in the Cradle' verbatim.
