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.

Memories of Summer

My son enjoying himself in the Adriatic Sea. I started this painting in June 2014 in studio class but had to finish it at home. Unfortunately Stefan Nuetzel stopped offering his studio class at that time. Nevertheless I am really thankful for these three months – I’ve learned a lot!

Sketching on the iPad

While I still have to upload all of my previous work in the next couple of weeks, I’d like to share a few sketches I’ve made with Paper on my iPad recently. I really start to like this simple and intuitive app.

Painting flowers for a change

I was planning to stick with portrait and figure painting for a while but my wife demanded something flowery for the wall. So I ended up doing this water lily in summer 2013.
