Hopeless (continued)
May 17, 2007
Despite my original practice goal, today I quickly lost patience with copying the multitude of exact original lines. As a result, I was able to finish this work in a single session, which is again a first for this humble painter.
Here I also gave water-miscible oil paint a first try, and experienced them as convenience colors, no more. Especially the titanium white in my basic set had a gum-like quality, which even made the tube burst and leak when I pressed too hard to release some paint. I will perhaps move back to regular oil colors despite of some health concerns about using turpentine in my small apartment. (water-miscible oil/canvas, 19.5 x 19.5 cm)

Thanks for your kind words! Yours is the first comment I have received on my weblog, and that’s a very nice event. Take care.

I love your work. I was wondering if you sell it, and if you do what paintings do you have, price, and size.
thanks a ton

Dominique,
I’m flattered that you want to buy my work. Since you are the first who is asking here (and since this is a reproduction of another artist’s work), I’m willing to donate this one for the price of shipment only. If you are interested, please post where you are (which country), and I’ll follow up with further details by e-mail.
As for other work, pretty much all of what’s now available is documented on this site. If there were additional interest I could perhaps arrange for eBay auctions, as I’ve seen on similar sites. That would be a nice thing to start at some time, but I thought my original portfolio has to grow and develop first.
