I have always locations painted, which I've never seen, but which were high on my bucket list. My list is very long and I hope that during the next two hundred years stay fit enough to visit each point of longing on this list. Until that, I paint them like in this case of my new watercolor exercise about the Lofoten, Norway. The goal is to paint more minimalist landscapes to practice the reduction.

Menorca is for sure one of the islands we love most in the Mediterranean Sea and it's our dream that we could live there if we're retired for several months every year. In the last years, we've spent there some beautiful holidays and so you can be sure, that more watercolors of this gorgeous place will follow.

Yes, this shot is an absolute must for New York tourist and so I've done it too. In 2013 during my first visit to this marvelous city, we had a great theater night at the broadway and of course, we took a walk to the time square. 

This painting is my second attempt to NYC city night scenes and I will try to do larger versions from this. Do you know this feeling, that you have millions of ideas in your brain, but no time to do it?

Since my first personal contact with Cornwall, this amazing region is always in my mind. I wish I could live there forever. I love everything there, the landscape, the very special people, the near to the sea and it inspires me again and again. The last months I've had not so much time for paintings, as I would wish, so the larger pieces are still only in my heart and head and I try to keep in contact with the paper, pigments, and brushes.

The Snowdrop

Many, many welcomes,

February fair maid!

Ever as of old time,

Solitary firstling,

Coming in the cold time,

Prophet of the gay time,

Prophet of the May time,

Prophet of the roses,

Many, many welcomes,

February fair maid!

by Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809 - 1882
