Check out my new painting after Pieter Claesz (from the 1600s)...oil on canvas

Some fast studies with acrylic paint...the paint behaves so different than the oils...but less messy...

"Medieval Study" after Pieter Claesz...this is the finished version of what I posted earlier as a Grisaille

The Pastel Fleet...oil on canvas

Did a similar painting some years back and it sold...always wanted to recreate it for my house...and finally I did...Mission Possible 2

I started something very different...painting with light...all you need is a dark space, a source of light you can move around and specific camera settings...its kinda fun

Inspired by the pictures from Hubble telescope...This pair is called "Creating Space"

Being an artist with focus on realism doesn't prevent me from creating abstract works...I actually enjoy them a lot and they're so easy to decorate...The first pair is called "Rose War"

Some of my paintings are now available at "My Little Studio & Island Art's" in the historic district of Stevensville, Md on Kent Island

We are open until 5 p.m. today, and would love for you to stop by! If you come between 3 and 5 you can meet Kerstin, one of our newest amazing artists!

A couple of years ago I went to Cape Canaveral and had the chance to witness a shuttle launch from up close...this was such an awesome experience...and that's why I wanted to paint it as well..."Mission Possible"...my newest one

My new painting - Delightful NYC

Fresh from my easel: A light in the dark
