"I am a simple man, and I use simple materials:
Ivory Black, Vermilion, Prussian Blue, Yellow Ochre,
Flake White and no medium.
That’s all I’ve ever used in my paintings."

-  L.S. Lowry, 1887 - 1976

Many thanks, Sarah McIntyre, on X Virtual Studio - @StudioTeaBreak, for her inspiring challenge. This is my version of L. S. Lowry's self-portrait, oil on board, in 1925.

After enjoying the 5. time watching #versaillesseries it’s time for a little #fanart, so I started with Alexander Vlahos  who did an incredible job acting as Philippe I. de Bourbon. I use only one color and it is @danielsmithartistsmaterials Rose of Ultramarine which created such beautiful surprises, the portrait is done on #aquabord which is a gorgeous surface for portraits.

  Maikäfer fliege

Daß ich dich nicht kriege!

Flieg hinaus ins weite Land

Fliege fort von meiner Hand!
