landscapes, seascapes, still lifes

I grew up painting and drawing with my father, a painter and decorator. A lot of my enjoyment in painting I owe to my arts teacher Jochen Daerr (1909 – 1986) an excellent landscape artist himself. For many years I have worked as an electrical engineer after studying at Aachen University and the Imperial College London whilst continuing to paint in my spare time. I am self-taught, now painting full time in oils or acrylics on canvas or canvas boards. I also master drawings in coloured pencil on fine-art paper. Mostly I use my own photographs and experience together with personal memories to create my impressions of a landscape. I prefer realistic presentations of my subject in order to remind the onlooker of the beauties of nature without a detour through abstraction. My favourite subjects are the coast and country of Devon and Cornwall as well as the mountains of Austria but I have also captured famous buildings around Europe. Regular visits to my favourite spots in England and Austria make sure I have enough material for inspiration. You are welcome to write to me on my blog or visit my website www.landscapeart.org.uk/en

How this appeared on the blog I do not know. And I certainly do not know where those comments came from which seem to be totally unrelated to the post.

We have heard that some more fires have broken out again over there is this true, we hope you are safe where you are but understand that these fires are in victoria it looks as though you are safe at the moment.
