Early Works

Recently I looked through some drawings and paintings of my childhood. Drawings in family vacations in Denmark, Austria or water color paintings in Grand Bretagne, France. I was fascinated by those very early colorful oil crayon drawings such as of my mother days before and days after my sister was born. Only the last 2 pictures were done in school. All others are unrelated to any school assignment. I  ordered them according to their techniques: oil crayon, linocuts, drawings and silhouettes (cut out of black paper), and water color. All water color paintings and drawings of outside objects were done outside in front of the object without using any photography. In early years we were experimenting with linocuts. I would not like to encounter any of those dinosaurs...
