Freely based on the famous song (or book?) of Martin Luther King... I have a Billion


Hi Mark, 
I heard that by posting them on facebook you own the biggest share of the rights of my paintings. Thought you may be interested to have an original too and therefore painted this one for you!
I read that you want to donate 99% of your money. Do you accept an advice from an older person?
I suggest just 95% ... You never know.

The price of this is 0.001 Billion US$. To be donated to a non-profit organization.

Best wishes,
Thomas

Still There

On Monday night i went to bed with 187 Facebook friends. The next morning i was shocked. 186 .... I had lost one! But who? I am trying the exclusion principle... Okay this one is still there. 
Who he is? Ah, don't bother he only looks good on pictures!

We're the Voice - the studies




This is the first part of a little democratic painting project. I started by creating 5 small sketches, 4 cm x 4 cm, using  a black pen on paper. Those were created from imagination and without reference photo. I posted them on facebook and let my friends vote, which of them looks most interesting.  The numbers below the studies show the result. No. 4 won with 8 votes. 
Afterwards i created the color sketch on my ipad. 
I am still undecided what to paint it on.... Panel size 40 cm x 40 cm or 60 cm x 60 cm.

Self Citation 1




The first time I redid my own painting. A customer wants the painting the gallery has already sold. It was a painful lesson but I think I learned a lot...

That it's impossible to replicate a painting done with lots of energy but with pretty arbitrary color. 
That cleaning my flat is more fun
That it takes much more time than working pleinair (about 3 times)
That I can hate a painting I was happy with before
That for money I would probably do it again... Once in a while ;-)

60 min Bond


Din A4, Oil


I haven't done a face for quite some time. Whenever I restart with this time-limited exercise after a longer pause i am fairly pleased with the initial result, just like this time. But when I go on with this training I cannot keep up my performance. It reminds me of the state of overtraining in sports. It's extremely exhausting and this hour felt like 3. So the plan is to do just one or two per week from now on. I do not want to dive deeper into portraiture for now but see those as accuracy training.
