These paintings were made in my sketchbook while staying in the dolomites and walking and via ferrata climbing. Later in the studio, I get the chance to use them to make larger paintings.

More kind and forgiving in appearance than the photos. How long do you stop for when making these sketches during a climb?

Hello – I might not stop very long in very steep and difficult terrain, but in meadows and by rocks and safer places, I will make sketches, for maybe an hour before moving on, and then work on them that evening over a glass of wine! some of the paintings are also made from memories, some from photos and a combination of all these.
