Steinhof

At the end of August I had my Plein Air Workshop and I changed to location from the Wachau to a place in Vienna which is called Steinhof. It is a huge mental home so beautifully located and was built by the famous Viennese Jugendstil Architect Otto Wagner. The church in this area his one of the important sightseeing spots of Vienna. I tried to paint it but destroyed my attempt the other day.

Ende August hatte ich wieder meinen Plein Air Kurs. Anstelle von Weissenkirchen in der Wachau verlegte ich den Kurs nach Steinhof. Es ist ein riesiges Areal, in dem das Otto Wagner Spital untergebracht ist. Es wurde als Nervenheilanstalt vom berühmten Wiener Jungenstil Architekten Otto Wagner gebaut. Die Kirche ist ein Anziehungspunkt für Touristen. Ein Bild malte ich von ihr, zerstörte es aber am nächsten Tag wieder.

These paintings are so lovely and fresh Stefan. And they all have your trademark Canaletto type light!

The works that have been saved from the destruction are very successful.
These effects of lights and shades are very luminous and green always fresh and very atmospherics.
