Fantastic, Ion! Dracula must have been very stupid to sit in his dark castle instead of living in this bright, colorful town :-) ... F/V ... Heiko and Helga
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Heiko and Helga, thanks! I am too prudent to speak ill of the Dark Prince...
Dorothy Maier
Nice painting... Is Sighisoara the town from your painting? Dorothy
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Thanks, Dorothy! No, the city in the watercolor is my native city of Sibiu (kind of similar to sighisoara and Brasov, since built - at least the interior old city - by German Immigrants, about 1200-1300...)

Charming ! who is the little creature down in front in the trees? f/v
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Thanks, Cori! That would be me, my signature as a Scarecrow! Since the 80ties when I saw Jerry Schatzberg's movie (with Al Pacino and Gene Hackman) I slide into the belief that if you mock yourself (and, gently, others) it is a better attitude than confrontation and violence... so I start to sign as the Scarecrow...

Dracula, transylvania, some of my favorite legends, you did a beautiful job here Ion, so much detail.v
ITI Ion Vincent Danu replied:
Thank you, Sharon! You know, Irish, Hollywood and plenty of others took advantage of Dracula and Transylvania (no hard feelings!) But why not a native? and a History teacher transformed in a visual artist, like myself? By the why, Vlad the Impaler, the raw model for dracula, signed his documents "Draculya"...
