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!

"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly,
"one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."
This beloved line comes from his 1861 fairy tale titled simply "The Butterfly". It explores the idea that simply existing isn't fulfilling; true life requires joy (sunshine), independence (freedom), and beauty (a little flower). You can read the full, original text of this classic tale on the Hans Christian Andersen Center website.

Nun, dieser erste Versuch, den frisch renovierten Miniteich zu malen, ist nicht richtig geglückt, aber ich habe eine Menge gelernt und das zählt ja auch!

Nein, es wird mir nicht langweilig, in meinem Bauerngarten zu malen, und besonders Ende Mai, wenn die ersten Rosen die Fülle an Iris, Vergissmeinnicht und Pfingstrosen ablösen, ist es eine unerschöpfliche Inspirationsquelle.

No, I never get bored painting in my cottage garden—and especially in late May, when the first roses take over from the abundance of irises, forget-me-nots, and peonies, it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

My first painting in 2025 is something really inside my comfort zone. After cleaning up the Christmas in and outside our home, I love to decorate everything clean, fresh, and white with a small touch of Winter.

nothing is better, nothing worse;
The flowering branches are
