Notes on artwork: Audrey Hepburn possessed truly elfin beauty. For this portrait I used one well known white and black photograph. Her face is very expressive despite its regularity. Just few pastel colors are needed to underline her fragility.

Notes on artwork: This stork is flying so fast, that the background trees conglomerate into various green and yellow spots and his far away feathers seem to be rather white than black. The big feathers at wing’s end are bending in the wind, while the bird glides apparently effortlessly.

Notes on artwork: I love animals, specifically cats of all kinds. Here I took the opportunity to paint an Amur Tiger after one authentic photo of a wild living tiger. Unfortunately, these wonderful cats are near extinction due only to us humans.
