Kloster Bernried

I painted this monastery at the Starnberger See during the  summertime of this year at location. The original painting was done on Arches paper in the size of 76x56 cm. I was not really satisfied with the outcome of my painting on location, so I decided to try it once more with different style and color. This painting was done on Hahnemühle 400 gr paper in the size of 36x48cm.

Palermo

At the moment we are deep in wintertime and have a lot of snow outside. To get a little bit of summer feeling and warmth and sunshine i took a foto from Palermo in Sicily and painted this small beach scene. The houses are very old and stand very close to the sea. Only a small stripe of sand can be used for swimming. There are some people and kids taking this opportunity. The painting was done on Arches 300gr rouph paper in size 36x51cm.

Munich, Ludwigstr.

This was a nice day in december 2010 and we walked from the Odeonsplatz to Marienplatz and on the view back you look down the Ludwigstraße to the Siegestor. The street was pretty crowded with lots of cars and bicyclists. The sun cast nice shadows on the buildings on the right side. This painting was done on Arches 300 gr. rough paper with the size of 46x61cm.

Aachen

I tried this scene several times. The photo was taken by myself when I had to visit Achen for a meeting. The church shown is the church, where the crowing of Karl the Great took place. There is also a nice museum nearby, where many pieces from that time are shown.

Hongkong

I kept a photo of Hongkong for serveral month but never found time to do a painting. Hongkong has many tall buildings with apartments in the upper floors and shops and shopping malls in the lower part. The buildings look sometimes very grey and dirty, especially at the apartment levels with lots of ugly air conditioning. This scene is such a building just at the early evening, when the lights of the shops and the colorful advertisement is on. Lots of people are on the street.
