"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.

This year is a water year in my garden. I have created two mini ponds, which work really well. We have had a few small fountains for years. Birds, hedgehogs, and small and bigger frogs have enjoyed them. Surely not the best page in the project, but I like to show the whole sketchbook. I learned a lot from it.

The unwelcome visitors in our garden. Our lawn was always a problem area, since the tall, old oaks—combined with the intense sunlight—made it almost impossible to grow a healthy lawn.

Whenever I eat cherries, I think of my grandfather. I surely inherited my fondness for cherries from him. He had an incredible variety of cherry cultivars in his magnificent garden, and I associate these memories with the carefree summers of my childhood.

Since we live near the woods and have a few sun-warmed walls in our garden, we sometimes get visits from lizards. I haven't painted a lizard yet, but I'm sure there will be more in the future.

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.

Old Mr. Toad

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.
