Tagesgrauen und Siegried's Rheinfahrt

This is really Ted's Rheinfahrt that we made while in Germany.  We stayed in an old castle on the Rhine that had been renovated to a hotel, and we took a little afternoon boat up the river to a town where we took a train back to our little town, St. Goar.  You can imagine that especially in the winter when the fogs roll in, the dramatic feeling that must have inspired Wagner.  I've been listening to him and painting a few small canvases, using the watercolors as a reference that I made while we were there.
