Autumn is near and the time for paper lanterns walking is here. 

To outwit the darkness that creeps across the country earlier and earlier in the autumn, children make lanterns with colorful luminous paper pictures or hollow out pumpkin and sugar beet heads and parade through the streets with them. Parading through the dimly dark or foggy streets with a brightly shining moon, a shining sun, a happy animal face or a monster-faced lantern is fun.

In some areas, the 'lantern parade' begins as early as September, and reaches its peak in the first days of November and on St. Martin's Day. Everywhere you see bright strings of lights parade through the streets in the evening. It looks beautiful. It helps us forget the darkness a little, and we look forward to the pre-Christmas period with its mysteries and celebrations.






from about ca. 1851

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.

  A walk around the Dammasch meadows near the Aller River in Celle is always a good idea. And if the meadows are flooded even more. The view onto the old half-timbered Villa built by Albrecht Thaer in 1793 a the edge of Thaers Garden is wonderful.

Do you know this feeling when it’s time for a further challenge for you to grow? Yes, I do and when I started with this special portrait I felt that it would be something like this. Far beyond perfection but hey, I’m on my way, and that must count too!

Finding the first chestnut of the year is always a very exciting moment and I can't resist putting it into my pocket. Touching and feeling it is something very special, nearly magical, a real candy.

with this small one, I've had a new experience too, you can clean an aquabord maybe twice, but never three times, and put a completely new painting on it.

Autumn is a very exciting time for my Coralie; she's sitting the whole day at the windows and looking at the leaves dancing through the air. The Challenge at Jean Haines Online Art School was to paint a cat profile and here it is.

My plan was to paint a series with some autumnal still lives in a small format and I've started with Ampersand's gessobord. Hmm, it's a miracle with this one, because I've no idea if I've put a watercolor ground on it or not. And it looks like not, but the watercolors stayed from the first wash perfectly on it. Okay, you must be very careful with corrections, otherwise it's three steps forward and two backwards, but even salt on the wet pigments works great. So I took a gessobord for No. 2 too, but it doesn't work. The colors beaded off and absolutely didn't want to stick to the gessobord. I had to put some watercolor ground on it. I'll show you the result in my next post.
