Hidden
Observing, photographing, and painting frogs is a lifelong pleasure for me. Maybe their part in the fairytales during my childhood, maybe their feature of transformation. I don't know it exactly. But I think they like me too, because we've had some in our garden for years.

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.

Es geht um eines jener speziellen Blätter, die am Ende des Winters immer noch am Baum hängen und es geht um große Träume in diesem Gedicht in Kinder-Gedichte-Welt und das ist die Illustration für das geplante Buch mit meinen Kindergedichten.

It’s time for some autumnal warm-up exercises. Every year again the Red Current in my garden impressed me with its bright yellow leaves.

A brand new candidate for my Veggie Series inspired by the "vegetable month" at Jean Haines's online Art School www.watercolourinspiration.com and what a!! Cauliflower might be the most versatile vegetable. It is a real all-rounder when it comes to versatility in preparation. Anything goes, from Mexican to Indonesian. Youn can roast it, steam it, grill it like a steak, puree it like mashed potatoes, or grate it and eat it like rice. Cauliflower is a whole lot more than just a side dish, but is also great for easy meal prep and exactly what we need to carry us through a busy week.

The near Harz Mountains region has a lot of amazing beech forests and during autumn it's the pure joy to visit them. Especially in the morning when the fog is still between the colored tree, the ground is covered by fallen leaves and the wood has this fairytale touch.
