The focus of his work was the landscape paintings. With its refined sense of proportion, he deepened his perceptions of beauty, the essence and magic of old oak trees. The issue of forest has been developed and modified by him again and again. Waldinger committed to realism of the 19th century. He drew studies of tree branches, leaves and flowers.
