A light afternoon rain came off the North Sea while we were walking around the Upper Town of Brussels, Belgium.  It was the perfect opportunity for us to visit the Royal Museum of Fine Art of Belgium.  For hours, my wife and I wandered the galleries full of old masters and modern masterpieces.  Around ever corner was a source of inspiration including this small piece.  While the details, coloring, and layout vary, the sense of feeling is the same.  For more on Brussels, Belgium, please visit: http://mikekraus.blogspot.com/2017/09/sprout-to-be-brussels.html 

Mike Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold hundreds of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.
