head in the clouds, feet on the ground - a free spirit

This is a portrait of a close friend of mine that I made for her birthday. And it really is true that if I could’ve said what she is like in words, I wouldn’t have had a reason to paint her. So, to sum up all that I know about her, this is who she is, and not in my words but in her own colors.

Muse "Feeling good"

the coming of summer

I was always curious about how I would end up painting summer. And this is what I came up with. My aunt said he looks like a Polish boy standing on a beach somewhere in the Mediterranean. As he turns his back to the sun and eats a huge corn he realizes that his skin is burning. And, yes, I remember, summer sometimes does feel exactly like that. It burns your skin without you even realizing until you're finished with your corn.
