L’Assemblée. 2016. J.Harms. 30x40cm. Acrylic on paper.
While visiting Edinburgh castle, I came across a group of very interested tourists, truly absorbed by their guide. I liked the cluster they formed around the knowledgeable kilted man.
Le Saint, les pélicans et le cycliste. 2016. J.Harms. 29×39 cm. Acrylic on paper. (Private collection).
On a Wednesday afternoon I was wandering around the old city of Crépy-en-Valois. The narrow cobblestone streets form a kind of maze in the old part of the town.

Florentine composition. The yellow Crane (2012)
Acrylic on canvas – 90×85 cm
