Where i grew up…

I took the last oportunity to paint the house in wich I grew up. It was a really nice sunny day in the garden in Lucerne.
Now the house is sold and my parents moved out.
I couldn't decide which version is the better. So I show both of them. (the second one was a really quick one, just to "clean" the color palette.

Exhibition in Portugal

I 'm really happy to show my work in the really nice gallery "o Mato" of Paolo Neves, Rua António Francisco das Neves, 64 | 3720-773 Cucujães.

The Exhibitionruns till August.

Day three in Zurich: Remisenstrasse and a construcion site

It's quite easy to paint undisturbed in Zurich: The people are very busy (or satureted?) so they didn't try to speak to me…

The building in the Remisenstrasse belongs to the SBB: the building slot between the tracks was very tight: So they choosed to build the office building in akind of Mushroom-shape.
