Painting Jugendstil-Pax Montana Hotel

A Beautiful stay in the Swiss Countryside This Week I am staying at the 'Art Nouveau' Hotel Paxmontana to paint the hotel and its surroundings. It was built in 1896 and is a listed building which has kept its charm and stylistic exterior. Easily distinguished by the detailed red and yellow balconies which adorn the entire exterior. Above you can see the finished painting, completed from room 301, which was my room for the week. It overlooks Sarnersee, the surrounding hills and Obwaldner mountains.

Due to our shared interest in art and the fact that we were both in the same small town, was good enough reason for us to meet so we got chatting. Since myself Danny and Penelope have become friends. We've been painting together, drawing on iPads together and also spent an afternoon drawing together at their home. Both Danny and Penelope are artists in their own right.

Ordering a bespoke bicycle

 

You might not think that a bespoke bicycle and painting have much to do with each other, but this bike changes everything.  I have been painting ‘en plein air‘  for a few years with an idea in the back of my mind.  Often painting in the mountains I would would arrive at the top, tired and wishing I could stay and start another canvas without having to walk back down, then up again.
