Yesterday we walked the Berg, Berghausen castle, and I had the opportunity to sit and draw this one small part. What a joy it is to be here. A place my husband lived, literally in the guard house, as an infant with his German mother, before his American military father could send for them to come to the USA. They were "displaced persons" because of the war housed in the castle with others in the same situation.
Great drawing of a great place Lynn :-)
ReplyDeleteYour drawings capture all the colours and shadings of der Berg Schloss! This must have been a memorable moment for you both! ♥
ReplyDeleteHappy and sad memories I am sure for both of you. Nice you could take that trip. Safe trip home when you go.
ReplyDeleteI read all about you Lynn on your side bar. Wow you are very creative. That is great.
