kruger workshop update!

Well I'm home from what was one of the most truly inspiring and memorable weeks I've ever had. From Kruger himself to the list of attendees from all over the world this really was a week to remember. Watching Kruger work was just amazing, to see him go from a blank canvas to a masterpiece in roughly 4 hrs is just an incredible sight.
Here's just a few pictures including a painting I did of the man himself, to which his response was (in a German accent!) "YOU'RE A F**K@N TALENTED IRISH B**CH" (might be a compliment in there somewhere)



Me and Sebastian, apologies for the light flash on picture, the paint was still wet!




Room with view (this really was the view from my room)

This view sure is much better than mine was in Reno!
I hope you will post many many pictures!

Niall, this is by far the best painting I've seen from you. Must have been the German air......or the beer......or it could just be that you've done a cracking painting!!!

Hey Niall I echo Ken's comment - that's a top painting mate. I look forward to seeing if your work changes after this experience - did it cost an 'arm & a leg' ?
