Over the years I’ve completed a variety of paintings, one of my subjects has been the study and paintings of Albert Einstein.
While searching through the internet, I came across a photo of Einstein’s famous Blackboard which is situated in the Oxford science museum, I thought now there’s an interesting subject for me a painting of “professor Einstein lecturing cosmology on this day of May 16 1931 from this iconic blackboard.”
First of all I tried to capture his appearance to get what I thought would be a likeness of Einstein at the age of 52 in 1931, after sifting through various photographs of Einstein from around that period of time, with many corrections & adjustments taking over three years,
I came up with the following painting;

Einstein Quotes;
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music ... I cannot tell if I would have done any creative work of importance in music, but I do know that I get most joy in life out of my violin.”
