![In the last weeks, I've been cycling along the Rhine quite often - and one of the first tours I did in 2016, when I started cycling again, was also along the Rhine: the stage between Bonn and Remagen (there on the right side of the Rhine and back on the left side). I also painted the view of the Drachenfels at that time. 🎨
"Drachenfels", a study in soft pastels, 42 cm x 56 cm
[original available on my website - interested in a print? let me know via DM]
