Lüneburg

Lüneburg is a small town outside of Hamburg.  The town is full of medieval architecture, and this makes it an interesting and quaint place to see.
I was not expecting to find a gallery show in Lüneburg, but I did.   I found Galerie Meyer next to one of the town's churches.  There, they were having a show called "Schwestern der Hanse" of Christopher Lehmpfuhl paintings.
I have never seen so much paint on one canvas.  Lehmpfuhl piles on enough paint to make portions project out maybe 2 or 3 inches!  It gives his paintings an almost sculptural element that is original and unbelievable.
