There's a little Witch in all of us!
“When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, ‘tis near Halloween.”

I started this painting with a blue underpainting, to be honest, I thought it was enough. But after a few days of looking at the blue version, I decided to use more warm skin tones. And so this version comes to life.

I've never painted a bat, but aren't they cute animals? For years, we've had one, or maybe two, in our garden, and we feel so lucky to admire their gorgeous hunting rounds around our garden lamp.

Singer Sargent's Lantern Girls
my version

Do you know John Singer Sargent RA’s oil painting “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose”, 1885 - 1886. Surely you do, it’s one of this Royal Academician’s most famous works. And this will be my version of it. I love the motive and learned a lot while working on it.

Ich habe unsere Gartenkröte wieder entdeckt und festgestellt, dass ich zwar schon einige Frösche gemalt habe, aber noch nie eine Kröte. An diesem ersten noch herrlich warmen Herbsttag ist es einfach wunderbar noch draußen arbeiten zu können.
Ich habe ohne jede Vorzeichnung mit dem Auge begonnen und dann langsam die Kröte und ihre Umgebung drumherum aufgebaut.
I rediscovered our garden toad and realized that although I have painted a few frogs, I have never painted a toad. On this first, still lovely warm autumn day, it is simply wonderful to work outside.
I started with the eye without any preliminary drawing and then slowly built up the toad and its surroundings around it.

Autumn is near and the time for paper lanterns walking i.s here.
Autumn is near and the time for paper lanterns walking is here.
Every year again I must paint some autumnal motives like mushrooms, paper lanterns, falling leaves etc. and I hope you enjoy my passion as much as I do.

Calella de Palafrugell
This marvelous ancient fishing village is one of the most attractive places at the Costa Brava and I've lost my heart at first glance.
