Below is an article written in Stars and Stripes in 2006 about my exhibition in Hanau Germany. Enjoy!

For sale
Hello folks! The paintings on antique windows have been a huge success. My latest work is of the former Williams Bay Train Station which closed in 1967. As of now all work has been sold. I would like to thank the fine people of Williams Bay as well as Don, the owner of The Studio. I am currently taking commissions and will continue to paint scenes from the beautiful Geneva Lake.
Finally!
Stayed up all night to get here!
Post War Peace
My last large canvass was a 9 by 5 foot oil I painted in the fruit cellar of my basement. The space was so tight that I was never more than two feet from the images I portrayed. It wasn’t until six months later that I pulled the sheet from the dark walls to reveal the work in its entirety. The journey from the start was a therapeutic exercise of my reactions to the effects of war. I was dealing with PTSD in an isolated confined space where I felt safe. When asked how I felt when I finished it, my response was:
“I don’t know if the painting will ever be done”
Rough Sketch
My summer theme is Geneva Lake Landmarks on old windows. I have had great success selling all pieces through the Studio Gallery in the village of Williams Bay.
In progress
My name is Marcos Damian Duran and I draw with sharpies 🙂
Please join me as we venture into the process of painting windows. Starting with a boat ride and sketching on sight, to painting in the studio, to the streets of William’s Bay.
