i can still remember the first time i met jon. i saw him in the hallway of a small art room in hamburg. i was sure i had seen his face in a magazine and painted it. so i introduced myself with: “you’re a model, aren’t you?” everyone around us started laughing “wow, what a turn-on!” i realized how my words could have been understood and blushed.
a few years later, i was actually allowed to paint jon and i’m very happy about it. in this picture, he draws the feeding passages of a leaf miner (miniermotte) with chalk in a rocky gorge. thank you dear jon!
