Kurze Strasse with St.Marys Church

Kurze Strasse with St.Marys Church by Liza Hirst

Can you imagine painting this on a format of 6"x6"? Well, I tried and failed miserably. In the end, totally frustrated, I was "hitting" the paint on and finally balled up the paper. So, a drawing seemed a good idea for a new approach - and I like it. This motif calls for a larger format, I think.

View from the Rampart to St.Johannis

View from the Rampart to St.Johannis by Liza Hirst

As mentioned in my last post, there are a few nice views of the town one can see from the rampart. This is the same church I painted 4 days ago, St.Johannis, with two different towers. I climbed the taller one with the "balcony" the other day, took photographs from the top and think there are one or two I might attempt to use for paintings in the next days, so stay tuned!
