painting continued
I am continuing with my oil paintings. Its interresting to note that starting the pictures is the easy bit, its the finetuning and finishing thats the hard part! I have 8 paintings on the go at the moment .
I am a bit unsure af the themes, but will finish all the paintings (and start some more) and see where the process takes me. Six of them feature old cars that I photographed while on a roadtrip in Namibia a few years ago. The other two feature abandoned houses at Kolmanskop near Luderitz in the barren desert surroundings. My plan is to organise an exhibition. I will need to find a gallery that likes my stuff, we will cross that bridge when we get there!
Here are a few pictures of the paintings in progress.

painting away
I have made an energetic start on my paintings. These are quite different from my illustrations of characters.
As a theme, I am focussing on a road trip we did to Namibia a few years ago.
I have many photos of empty sand-blown houses at Colmanskoppe and of abandoned cars and trucks. Because its so dry there, the detail preserved is amazing. They are all oil paint on canvas.
My goal is to have an exhibition and sell them if anyone wants to buy them! I will be looking for a venue to have the exhibition in the next few months.
Ps. these paintings are all works in progress … ie far from finished …
