This is the next painting of my series. I enjoyed walking the shore early in the morning, taking pictures, watching the waves and collecting some driftwood. Painting this really brought it back to me.

About to break

This is the first painting from many impressions and pictures taken at the Cote Bleu, France. I spent my vacation there and did some watercolor studies. The light has really fascinated me. Doing this painting I wanted to capture the transparency of the sea combined with beautiful reflections. There is more to follow.

The Wave

Oliver Kohls, The Wave, Pastel on Pastelmat, 34x260cm, 2013

Finished the third part. This is how it looks putting all three paintings next to each other. Due to the size of it  the paintings will have to be framed separately. I am curious how it will look framed.

Buoys

Beide Bilder nebeneinander. Ich habe noch eine Idee für ein drittes Bild, die Boje bei bedecktem Himmel und mehr Wind. Mal sehen, wann ich damit beginnen kann.

Die Webseite ist jetzt fertig, ich würde mich über Kommentare und Kritik freuen.

Both paintings next to each other. I got an idea for a third one. Obviously the same buoy but this time on a cloudy windy day. 

My website is up and running. I am grateful for any comments you may have. 

Buoy in the Sun

Hier ist nun das zweite Bild. Das gleiche Motiv in unterschiedlichen Lichtverhältnissen zu malen ist eine gute Methode, um eine Menge über Farben und Tonwerte zu lernen.



The second painting. Painting the same subject in different lighting conditions is a good way to learn about colors and values.

Painting Demonstration

I furnished the center for physiotherapy at the hospital in Wittmund with twenty of my paintings. Yesterday was the opening ceremony  and I used the visitors day to give a little painting demonstration.
And yes, painting is some kind of therapy for me!!!
