AEDM day 11: Two new paintings

by

A while ago I bought a group of four 45x45cm canvases, intending to make them into a series of Munich scenes. The first two are almost done (here’s the first one and the second one); today I started on the last two canvases by sketching out the basics of the scenes: I had originally picked … Read more

AEDM day 10: Theatinerkirche
