These are my first paintings/lino cuts for the year 2009. The figure is from a photo reference (without the cat). I thought I could try some soft pastells (from Rembrandt).

Last summer on a big exhibition in Berlin with paintings from the world-famoust impressionists, I bought in the gallery shop a starter kit box with a few linocut knifes, colors and small linoleum plates. Six months later I decided to start with a small linocut.
