Greetings from London
This is a more or less secret gem between the big banks of London and the Tower - remained walls of a church, where you can find a little quiet - in the middle of London. Ok, you hear the cars and the red busses, but the bushes and the greent tendrils show us sitting...
So tiny…
This image I used for my tutor sessions and Britta just took the small image and painted it on 7x5cm - as small as it was on the worksheet. Great work!
The last Apple (from painter’s view)
Just at the tree seen jumped ripped off. Rustling, cold fingers, all colors, holeyed leaf - the time has come: The first bite is certainly sweet in juice … must wait.oil on wood, soon in the gallery...
Journaling in October
Tonight I had the idea to collect different patterns (best from all over the world!) that are good for drawing. A lot of people just dare to put in colors in books for relaxing, but as a tutor I always like to learn something - and of course I'd like people to learn...

Studio somewhere else
It's always exciting to built up your tent... erm... easel somewhere else, even if it's just for weeks or just days. So, you get a completely different feeling: It's thrilling for me, especially because the view towards a well-known but not finished painting is...
Art against Corona
Life has become so different - for all of us, anyway which country. Finally, we really feel that we're all sitting in one boat and how important it is to rely on family, friends and neighbours. Isn't that a big luck to have them? To talk to them in social distance...
Not just words…
I'm eagerly working on my new website. But I don't want you enjoy the weekend without anything from me. Everybody needs good words, don't we? Have these for the weekend and all days to come... Beyond your worries there's freedom...None of us know whant will...

A sea friend showed me some paintings lately. He was not that satisfied with them. In this case it is of big value to ask someone else. A fresh new view that doesn't stick to the painting, and you know quite quickly how to go on:This Shrimp has wonderful hights and...
