Aloa!
Oh dear, it makes my heart heavy to post above Matt's magnificant diorama and i feel a bit ashamed about it, but i have to. If i won't my head would explode as there are many things to tell. The last weeks have been very busy with a Painting Class in Hannover and some relaxed days of vacation in Graz, Austria. I now just start to write down my mind. If you are getting bored by my talk you can do this for your chi!

Painting Class Hannover Review is the next little topic i want to talk about. I already started writing my little report about it, but it still takes a while as these days are again busy. We are in wait for some visitors and friends in the upcoming days to visit our headquarter. Australian friends are already visiting Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the Moment together with Raffa and will soon be here at our home. I already know Mister nice guy Weisern, this time he brings his sister and Sebastian aka automaton :) - After their stay I am happy to see another guest from Hong Kong, Hon. They are all in Europe as the World Expo took place last weekend. You see the next weeks are again busy, busy, busy and there won't be much time to get it all done. So i ask for some more patience and have 4 preview photos from the Review:
Stay tuned!!
Ok, mmh...What else to say?
Pride and Shame ...
I am painting again after those busy weeks of mostly no brush time. I made a hard decision and was bored of being stuck in too many projects so I arranged a new case in my cabinet: The case of shame, a place in my cabinet where mostly all my actual projects got freezed until i find back to motivation to finish them. Suddenly i am really motivated again, more about this later on... the case of shame:
Where there is shame there has to be pride and after i have won my first demon he got some space in my cabinet beside the finished stuff. Maybe there will be more someday, who knows :) - the case of pride:
I did finish Hon's exchange miniature and also a WHF great sword soldier whom i have already given away to a long time friend who was visting us some days ago. And yes - i found my motivation again and do some smaller projects just for the thrill of it. Smaller? Nope, not really while taking a look on the base i have build lately - Work in Progress:
Finally i guess my brain seems empty enough to grab the vacuum cleaner and clean the flat and afterwards do some happy painting!
Thanks for your time and may you enjoy the sun, at our place it feels like i am a steak at a barbecue :)
Happy Painting!
Best Wishes
Roman
PS: Sorryio Matt!!
Yeah, I like it, Keep on rocking :D This new base with the griffon is so cool :D
ReplyDeleteI bet these painting classes are a blast!
ReplyDeleteFuck Yeah, they are!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I like the idea with the pride and shame box. In the first there enough stuff for long long painting nights - or better to much stuff? ;)
ReplyDeleteRoman, I'm sure you've answered this before, but where do you get the little brick-shaped pieces you used to construct the mosaics around the coins?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea with the shame and pride division in your cabinet :-)
ReplyDelete@Skywatcher You win the bet :-)
@David Diamondstone As far as i know Roman use the little brick stones from Juweela

Hello Roman,
ReplyDeletegreat work.

Zeph says that you used some of our bricks? If you allow we would like to show some pictures of your work on our website. Might it be possible that you send me some pictures? Do you agree?
