The Red Star Reinette (known in German as the Rote Sternrenette and in French as Reinette Rouge Étoilée) is a traditional, heritage apple variety over 200 years old, prized for its deep red skin and distinctive star-shaped lenticels. I love the taste and color of this apple so much 🍎, and I am very happy to have one in my garden.
This loose sketch was inspired by @xtina_gavrilova_art 🥳

A sketchbook is a place for memories, inspiration, experimentation, and simply having fun. With this image, I was particularly focused on capturing the deep red, velvety surface that radiates the irresistible appeal of ripe peaches.

Blue Hydrangea - a Rilke tribute
SIZE: 14,8 x 21 cm
PAPER: CANSON® SAUNDERS WATERFORD® Art Book 300g/m² cold pressed
Like the last green in the painter’s pail
are these leaves; dry, dull, rough
behind the blue blossoms, a blue not borne
but reflected from above.
A reflection, both exact and approximate,
a desire, soon to be shed,
as old, blue-lined paper
fades yellow, then violet and grey;
Fades like an apron,
unworn,
of no use anymore.
In this do you feel the shortness of Life?
But suddenly blue shines new
in one blossom,
and you see the blue hue
drunk with green joy.
A rare Rilke poem ending with optimism — resurrection and connection — a flower drunk with joy!

Something Sweet
SIZE: 14,5 cm x 14,5 cm - 5,7" x 5,5"
I remembered I hadn't painted a cat in a long time, so I corrected that. This portrait of my kitty Coralie @coralie_and_xenia is painted on a cradled wooden panel, ground with standard wall paint. And I like the result very much. Not so much the vertical lines, but I’ll pay attention to that next time.

Jedes Jahr zu dieser Zeit überkommt mich eine unsagbare Sehnsucht nach dem Meer und weil es in diesem Sommer wohl nicht klappen wird, dorthin zu fahren, male ich mich eben ans Meer.

Every year at this time, I am overcome by an indescribable longing for the sea, and because I probably won't be able to go there this summer, I just paint myself by the sea.
