Dominikanska Curve (Brno)
Brno historical center was not so beautiful when I was young as it is now. The houses are repaired and reconstructed. I looks as good as Prague at some parts. One of the nice streets is Dominikánská. I never painted Brno before. So painting is was kind of exciting. It's the town where I was born and also lived gfor many years. This painting is done in my mosaic style but has a bit graphic/cartoonish look as well. The color palette is one of my most successful recently. It is based on a painting of my grandmother by my grandfather. I wonder what he would say to this little artork of mine...
By the Old School (Žatec)
Žatec is a historical town in western Bohemia famous for its hops. Filmmakers like it and Barbra Streisand chose it as a suitable exterior for her movie Yentl. I was an extra in this movie when I was 18. So after more than 40 years I went there to see it all again. This street is right in the middle of the film location. It was surreal to visit it and even more strange to paint it.
Colored Cobblestones (Brno)
The other side of Dominikánská street in Brno is as enchanting as the one in my first painting. You can see the stairs leading to the New City Hall - that's what it's called even though it is old. Cobblestones are everywhere and painting them in different colors is fun. The color palette is based on my photo from New York. The street is not as colorful as this painting, I wanted it to be. And it came out as if it was from a a fairy tale.
