Die fünf Hühnerchen

Ich war mal in dem Dorfe,

Da gab es einen Sturm,

Da zankten sich fünf Hühnerchen

Um einen Regenwurm.

Und als kein Wurm mehr war zu sehn,

Da sagten alle: Piep!

Da hatten die fünf Hühnerchen

Einander wieder lieb.

- Victor Blühten, 1844-1920

Back at the brushes again, I start the Easter 2026 season with a fictional portrait of Beatrix Potter and her famous character, Peter Rabbit. My version makes no claim to authenticity; it is a painting to celebrate the joy of Spring and Easter.

"March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection."

— Khalil Gibran 

And so I do, more practise with likeness in my portrait paintings. My goal isn't to paint like a photograph; no, I love looseness in everything I paint, but to recognize the person at first glance.
