In January 2013, we had such a severe winter with hard frost that the idyllic Heide Lake, where the beautiful town of Müden is located, was frozen over, and young and old could have fun on the ice. I am glad I took my camera with me, so I have a lot of lovely impressions to inspire me.

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.

  “... There are fairies everywhere:  under bushes, in the air, playing games just like you play, singing through their busy day.  So listen, touch, and look around – in the air and on the ground.  And if you watch all nature’s things, you might just see a fairy’s wing.”

Dieses Portrait ist eine Illustration für mein geplantes Kindergedichte-Buch und damit es auch noch ein paar Überraschungen gibt, handelt es sich in diesem Fall um ein noch unveröffentlichtes Gedicht. Also bleibt gespannt und am besten kauft das Buch, so bald es erscheint. Ich werde Euch natürlich alle informieren, sei es hier im Blog oder über die Social Medias (Instagram, X oder Facebook). Für dieses Portrait habe ich das neue Farb-Set von Ali Cavanaugh genutzt, das einfach wunderbar für Haut- und Haartöne ist und ich liebe die kleine Palette, die dabei ist. Ich habe so viel in ihrer Patreon Group gelernt, wofür ich sehr dankbar bin.

My contribution to @aligator_watercolor_community  challenge #77: FAVORITE OF 2022. That was an easy decision: it must be a #portrait, it must be painted with Opera Pink and Aussie Red Gold, surely my 2022 most loved colors and it must be done on #Aquabord. I have learned so much and I'm deeply grateful to be a part of this wonderful painting community.
