Breaking news: Cat falls asleep
Went to Tom and Jana’s house to draw Elvis 2, the cat. He fell asleep on my lap so all I got was this garden scene.
Spinnrädl Restaurant – A Favorite
I am putting together a show of my iPad digital sketches of old Kaiserslaltern, Germany. The Spinnrädl Restaurant is one my favorite iPad paintings, and places to eat. That’s me in front of it a couple of days ago, and my painting to the right.
The original photo that I worked from is below. It was taken by Peter Turgetto of the Kaiserslautern Media Center (which he founded) sometime in the late 1930s (best guess). Spinnrädl is one of the older buildings in Kaiserslautern, however, the building with the archway in the original photo was even older. Unfortunately, it was demoloshed to make room for a (tacky) new building.

Don’t give a damn about my reputation
I’m working on a new project. Painting Kaiserslautern on my new iPad. I’m stoked.
Reputation? Google Joan Jett.
I just finished painting the city of Landstuhl
… and boy are my arms tired.
The series is on my website. Click here to go directly to the Landstuhl Series, or just step through the gate.
Workshop sketches
Took a painting weekend last week. Attended Beverly Never’s painting workshop. Always learning something new. Weather was bad so, other than a brief post-lunch walk, we stayed indoors and painted from photos of the German landscape. I’m in a rut. Time for a change.
