Practicing Portrait Painting

Portraits are my favourite painting subject. Everyone has a different face. And every face tells a lot of stories.

Trying hard to keep painting and posting at least once a week. But these days I usually prefer chilling at the local swimming pools.

Alpine Summer

Whether you are a cow or a human – the Austrian alps are just beautiful at this time of the year.

I didn’t want to post this one because I wasn’t satisfied with the result. But when my five year old son recognized it as a rose and even guessed the right bush I changed my mind. It’s simply amazing what children’s eyes can see.

Although I’m not too happy with the picture I’ve learned a lot from it. And that’s the whole purpose of my “daily” practice.
