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.

All the layers of Edinburgh…
Le rond-point. 2016. J.Harms. 39 x 49,5cm. Acrylic on paper.
This is the second painting illustrating my trip, this past January, to Edinburgh. It depicts a street near the famous Victoria street. I was struck by the geometry of this particular scenery. Triangles, circles and rectangles. I read a short essay on Bauhaus recently, and for some reason this painting reminds me of the movement. The yellow sky is just how I remembered the atmosphere, in reality it was rather a grey and cloudy day.
And a Happy Birthday to Sayaka Takahashi, one of its citizen, English teacher extraordinaire, who, a couple years ago, while I was working in Nagasaki, found a painting spot for me near my appartment, and by that actively participated in helping me find my artistic voice. Domo arigato Sayaka chan !
Luss. 2015. J.Harms. 29×39 cm. Acrylic on paper. (Private collection.)
When touring Scotland last year, our driver dropped us off at Luss. A picturesque little village on the shores of Loch Lomond. The Pier was by far what inspired me the most about that place. There was no time to go on a boat tour unfortunately.
Yes and No, n°2. 2015. J.Harms. 30.5×21.5 cm. Acrylic on canvas.
How many times can one witness a piece of History in one’s lifetime ?
