A Summer Trip to The Czech Republic 01

It was in July this year (2011). The main reason for this trip was not the usual one, i.e. painting – We went there to attend a gig by our favourite Supergroup

“Black Country Communion”

In case you don’t know them, here are two of them, Glenn Hughes and Joe Bonamassa.Glenn pointing at God and saying “You Rock!”

Anyway, the gig took place in Loket and was fabulous, although we spent it under a torrential rainstorm… reminding me how awful the summers can be in that part of the world (I have been living in Germany a long long time!!!). I really prefer our daily desert heat!

Of course I can’t go anywhere without having to paint it… Before going to Loket, we spent three days in Prague, exploring the whole town. That place is certainly one of the most beautiful and exciting towns in the world! I would need an entire lifetime to paint it and render the homage it deserves,, so I did what I could in that short time…

The Charles Bridge for example was a feast for the eyes.. and the ears!

My artist eyes were also attracted by the tramways of course… here is the most attractIve among them!

Want Some Moore?

You have all probably heard of Kev Moore, “The Nice Guy of Rock”, as they call him in the milieu.

And in fact, indeed he is the nicest rocker in the World!

But if you want to see his ‘hidden face’, and listen to the kind of Moaning Monster that I (delightfully) spend my life with, and will always do, then read on!  He has started a new blog “Want Some Moore??!” As he writes himself:

“… He’s also prone to get quite pissed off about War, Religion, Slow drivers, Crazy people, Normal people, Peace, God, Crap music…..well, he’s prone to get pissed off about pretty much everything really. If you want to come see where he ‘vents’ – this is the place to be!  “

Entry forbidden to delicate souls though…

But if you are tough, and love the (verbal) fight, Get him started, you won’t regret it!
