Jack

Pastel, 30 cm x 23cm, 2013

A beautiful Boston Terrier I wanted to paint when I saw the first photo of him. I hope once I can meet him and his owner in reality. Thank you Dianne Deal for giving me the kind permission to use the photo of Jack for the painting.

I'm honored that my painting "Jack" has been accepted to the 2014 Appalachian Pastel Society National Exhibition at the Bascom Center for the Visual Arts in Highlands, NC. The exhibition runs from October 4, 2014 through January 4, 2015.

Rusty

The newest painting I've done. Love the beautiful colors I can play around with while painting rusty metal objects.

Since I've been looking at some old photos of landscapes and forests for the last few days, the idea of creating small paintings of forest sceneries came to my mind. All the pictures are showing the beautiful nature scenes of Mittelfranken.
