Peter in his kitchen

I asked Peter if I could made a portrait of him after I saw standing in front of a window. He asked me if he could write something while I painted him. He keeps journals. This one is the third he is filling with his though. He started sometime ago when he became a journal as a present. His handwriting is very small and quite nice. The kitchen is very gemuetlich and the afternoon light falls over the kitchen table.

I avoid drawing when I do my watercolors. I try to work with shapes and not lines.
