Painting Nr. 55

After having been involved in other projects (preparing my exhibitions et cetera), I'm back outside painting plein air. I try to take advantage of those cold but nice and sunny winter days. At the moment the harbour is a nice place to be.

The boys who saw me painting made me really laugh with their funny comments:

"Warum malst Du das, das ist ja nur alles Müll? – Musst Du das malen?"

"Malst Du noch eine Sonne drauf?… Kannst ja auch noch einen Zeppelin draufmalen"

"Darf ich das?"

Madrid

This week I was on vacation in Madrid. Most of the time I spent in the Prado and other excellent Museums.

100 points if you find out which artwork of the Prado those are!

Beautiful weather sometimes means difficult painting conditions.

Too much sun on the canvas

I wasn't lazy!

Here you see the reason why I wasn't very busy painting: This week I processed about 1200 staples and 40 meters of stretcher bar and some primer…

The canvases ready to be painted.

Finally I just set all the missing pins on the map!

Now the map is up-to- date for the first time…
