Happy New Year!

Another portrait for good

I painted another portrait from the same person you see at my last painting. This was made on a 22x30cm board used only acrylics and plextol warnish.

Enjoy! :)

 

One late-night snapshot when it was just halfly ready.

 Well, the warnish is a bit legible but here's the picture, enjoy! :)

Thank you Pamela!

I met a very nice lady and her husband not too long ago in the Stamp Museum.
They searched me beforehand to agree on a date and ask a guided tour in the world of Philately.
They found me because of a very-very kind friend of mine, Alice from San Francisco.
The visit was nice and we had a pleasant time together. Now, that they arrived back to the States, I saw her wonderful hand-made Travel Journal about the cities they visited.

Please check it out, you can find it here: http://cappuccinoandartjournal.blogspot.hu/2013/12/peeking-into-travel-journal.html

While I was watching this blogentry I discovered that she also made a full page about the museum where she installed a picture of us as well.
I'm really glad we met Pamela!

Teaser... The Dutch Riport

An article will be released soon where I talk about the museum I work in and the job I'm doing.
This will be in Dutch, and I'm really excited how it will turn out.

So stay tuned! :-)

The Red Paintings: First show of the European Tour 2013, started in Munich, Germany

So last but not least, I saw the artworks published of the show from Munich. Unfortunately we didn't have so much time to paint because I painted partly a canvas and partly a body with another German artist Wolf D. Lenkewitz. We had about 10 to 15 minutes to paint so I really had to be hurry.
But as always, it was real fun to work with the band and it was a great show with lots of people.
During the time I painted the body, one guy from the audience climbed out of the crowd, up to the side-stage I was standing and asked me in German if I ever read the The Methamorphosis from Franz Kafka (Die Verwandlung). It was so loud that I finally understood the question after long minutes explaining what he really wanted.

 The third painter Adele from Australia, she's so great!

He wanted me to keep continue my painting in the 'mood' of this Kafka story, but since the title of the tour was "Wasps" I could not do what he asked.
Another funny thing has happened in that night is when I left the place I had to take a 15-minute long walk for the nearest metro and when I finally reached the station I saw two slightly drunk people coming toward me from the dark. I was a bit suspicious that they were coming toward me so quickly and noone else was there.. They finally reached me however I tried to go faster and they suddenly asked me if I can help them, cause they were lost. I just told them that I'm here for the first time so there's no chance I can help them find their way, but one guy just said that suddenly with a sigh: "We'll never find that Hansa 38 place!" :-)
Since I was coming from that very place I put on a smile and told them the way. They were really cool and very happy at the end.
Anyway, enjoy the pictures!  :-)

 

 I painted the bottom of the canvas

 Here I painted both sides of the body, but the front was completely transformed by the other artist, 

Rolf D. Lenkewitz. It was fun working with him.

Here are some pictures I made in the backstage:
