Spring is in the air! The grass looks greener and even some little yellow dandilions have popped up!
At last.

Into the Village

oil on canvas - Öl auf Leinwand - huile sur toile
60 x 60 cm / 23,6 x 23,6"

This is a larger version of the last painting I posted.  I have been struggling with it over the last week and was more than once on the verge of wiping it all out. This morning I attempted it one last time by trying out painting with a spatula instead of brushes for the first time ever. And voilà! it worked much better than before and was good fun, too. 
I find it quite a bit more difficult to paint in a larger size after having concentrated mainly on the smaller daily paintings for many years - but I am enjoying the challenge!

Little Castle

I discovered this little castle on a recent walk in fantastic weather. 
I love how it is nestled among its outbuildings which seem to protect it.

Bad Weather

15 cm x 15 cm / 5,9" x 5,9"

Looking at an old boring painting of mine which I was just about to cover with a new hopefully more interesting  one, I suddenly saw potential in it and gave it another chance. A very satisfying experience.  I am quite happy with the outcome - it is more dramatic now, more atmospheric.

Here's the original painting before I reworked it:

My Book

No daily painting today as I am still working on the commissioned portrait of Paul.
But instead I would like to present my new book to you! In it you can find a selection of my work from the last two years.
It shows portraits or typical items and scenes found around my house and the area in the Dordogne in Southwest France where I live and work. You can preview the book and order it for 29 Euros by clicking on the picture below. Have fun!
(Makes a great christmas gift, too!!)
