What could be more perfect than to paint a Summertime scene of boat yard while being snowed in on a Monday holiday! This is the boat yard behind Becky's Diner on Commercial St. in Portland, Maine.
This is our homework assignment for Week#2 of Rick Surowicz's new "Exploring Watercolors with Confidence."
The theme is: Coastal Structures (one of my favorite subjects!)
Areas of Focus:
- Interpretation and Editing
- Technical Expertise
Rick took the reference photo that we used while on vacation in Maine. It is a very busy scene, with lots of things that could be edited out, like the trash bins, the Jeep, the cones in the foreground and a few of the boxes and barrels. So, we talked about the freedom, or "artistic license" that we have as artists to paint what we want and leave out the things we don't want.
There are lots of elements to consider in this painting. Some created by painting directly and some created with negative painting, like the cradles that support the sailboat. It was important to not draw too much attention to the really big trawler at the end of the pier because it was not the subject of the painting. So, we used light values to downplay it and certain other elements, and also darker values to draw attention to other elements, like the sailboat.
Rick wanted to concentrate on three levels of values so we created this value study using only Royal Blue with a bit of Sap Green mixed in. One of my favorite lessons so far!
PS - Mike... I will be coming up soon to have lunch with you and Christel at Becky's Diner...

I think this is a bobcat. I really enjoy using the Nikon 200-500 f5.6 lens. I believe it is one of the best values you can get on a Nikon lens. It really comes in handy shooting animals at the zoo.

University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.

Congressman Jamie Raskin speaks with Estonian Ambassador Kristjan Prikk.
On May 9, 2022, The Delegation of the European Union to the United States marked Europe Day by awarding the first Transatlantic Bridge Award to three exceptional Americans for their contributions in fostering transatlantic relations and in supporting and embodying the values and ideals shared by the European Union and the United States.
The three awardees - José Andrés, Chef, Humanitarian and Founder of World Central Kitchen; Stephen Breyer, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; and Deborah Rutter, President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts - were honored at a Europe Day celebration held by the European Union Ambassador and the 27 EU Member State Ambassadors at the EU Residence in Washington, D.C.
“The unified allied response to Putin’s aggression in Ukraine has once again highlighted the enduring importance of the shared values of the transatlantic partnership,” said European Union Ambassador to the United States Stavros Lambrinidis. “Strong EU-U.S. relations are vital in addressing common global challenges. That’s why I am particularly happy to recognize with the first Transatlantic Bridge Award three exceptional Americans who have made invaluable contributions to the EU-U.S. relationship and to universal human rights and values.”
As a world-renowned chef, humanitarian and founder of World Central Kitchen, José Andrés personifies and serves as a shining example of the European Union’s core values. Feeding those most in need and creating culinary training programs to empower communities and strengthen economies, he and his team go above and beyond the call of duty in global disasters and emergencies. Today, they are on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine, delivering care and kindness in meals in the country and to those fleeing the war. As a European and as an American, he bridges the Atlantic through food, highlighting its importance nutritionally, socially, and culturally, and connecting it back to urgent global issues like climate change.
On the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Breyer has been an ardent defender of judicial independence and the rule of law in democratic societies, embodying and fortifying cardinal European values as well. He has promoted a robust exchange of ideas between the Supreme Court and the European Court of Justice and has consistently and effectively encouraged transatlantic legal dialogue on key issues. In addition to his rule-of-law leadership domestically and internationally, he has argued forcefully against the constitutionality of the death penalty in the United States, consistent with the EU’s position of opposing capital punishment in its member countries and around the world.
Under Deborah Rutter’s leadership, the Kennedy Center has been an unwavering supporter of European artists, strengthening the EU’s “Kids Euro Fest” partnership in the United States, first established in 2008, hosting each year numerous EU Member State productions on the Millennium Stage, and showcasing many European ballet and contemporary dance companies in one of America’s pre-eminent cultural venues. She has attached high priority to welcoming DC school groups for EU-related workshops and, through The Reach, making cultural experiences accessible to all, regardless of economic status. With her support for fundamental values and for celebrating unity in cultural diversity - ideals that are also the bedrock of the EU itself and of the transatlantic relationship - she greatly contributes in enriching humanity long into the future.
Europe Day celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the signing of the Schuman Declaration on May 9, 1950, which set out the idea for a new form of political and economic cooperation in Europe, and is considered the beginning of what is now the European Union.

Satellite antenna dish in full view - a violation of the HOA rules.
However, the over-zealous HOA's have been trumped by the US government on satellite dishes. I hope we eventually abolish HOA's totally. Most buyers don't realize just how many of their property rights they give up when moving into an HOA regulated house. Yes, they do some good but it's not worth the loss of freedom. Mostly the dues go to friends of the HOA members who do property management and/or landscaping.
Which is more important to property values? No control so homeowners can do what they please, accepting that sometimes homeowners may do something to reduce the beauty fo the neighborhood? Or tight control like a Stalinist stae where everything is highly regulated by a central committee?

“Warm, friendly and informal”
Riad Dar Najat
Two of us (women over 55) stayed for 3 nights - our first visit. We were picked up from the airport and made welcome from the moment we arrived. They had made a mistake with our booking but this was sorted out entirely to our satisfaction - and from then on, everything was great. Our room was in Black Zitoun, a riad under the same management, only a few minutes walk from Dr Najat, but we could use the communal facilities of both. The roof terrace was perfect for breakfast, for relaxing with a glass of wine watching the sunset in the early evening and for sitting under the stars late at night. Abdul organised tours for us: a tour by car of more distant sights, a walking tour of the souk and a whole day tour out towards the Atlas mountains. They were well worth the money - just the two of us and guide, all arranged at our pace so that we felt we saw a lot in a short time without feeling at all rushed. When we went out to things we'd arranged for ourselves, staff escorted us there and back. Tariq did that in the evening and was always cheerful, even when we sat up quite late on the roof terrace while he served us with wine. All the other staff (the only one whose name I caught was Said) were equally friendly and good humoured - an ideal place for a short break in a fascinating city!

After the 1907 Bankers' Panic reduced the demand for canned pineapples, pineapple companies in Hawaii invested $50,000, or three percent of their products' value. Previously, many Americans have never tried pineapple, and those who did ate it only on special occasions. For the first campaign in 1908, the industry worked with New York advertising company Joseph A. Richards & Staff to advertise in thirteen most widely circulated magazines in the United States, reaching 25 million readers. The ads emphasized quality and the cans’ cleanliness. This campaign made the pineapple mainstream and a staple ingredient in many housewives' recipes (most famously, the upside-down cake).
In the 1910s and 1920s, the pineapple companies advertised their products individually. Some ads contained recipes using pineapples and offers for free recipe booklets.
The ads emphasized their product's uniformity, high quality, moderate price, freshness ("Picked and canned the day they ripen"), and growing conditions ("grown in the rich lava soil fields of Hawaii"). Companies included Del Monte, Hawaiian Pineapple Company (later known as "Dole's Pineapples"), Big Horn, Chef, Libby's, and First Pick.
“First Pick Hawaiian Pineapple. All the zestful flavor of naturally ripened pineapple is found in First Pick. The large, golden slices come to your kitchen full of flavor because they are packed in their own rich syrup--right on the plantation in sunny Hawaii. Delicious? Everybody says so!”
“First Pick Hawaiian Pineapple pleases every taste. For delicious, appetizing summer desserts nothing can take the place of First Pick Hawaiian Pineapple. Large, golden slices, cut from the choiciest fruit, ripened in sunny Hawaii and packed right on the plantation.”
