SWISS SNOW AND FRANZ G.







Titlis mountain photo courtesy Peter Born
There's something about fallen snow with it's defined black and white 
contours and sharp precise lines I quite like. 
This type of precision also reminds me of the Swiss artist Franz Gertsch
and his fascinating work I saw last winter. 
I truly admire him his patience and talent for creating 
photorealistic paintings on such a large scale.
Currently there is an interesting exhibition going 
on too, if you happen to be in the hood. 
Painting by Franz Gertsch: Patti Smith Acrylic on Canvas 1978 
The picturesque village of Burgdorf, Switzerland 
where the Museum Franz Gertsch is situated.
