 The whole world is celebrating Jane Austen's 250th Birthday, and so I do. I decided to paint a series about her wonderful stories, which I have enjoyed in several film versions. The third painting, a scene with Elinor Dashwood and Edward Ferrars from the film „Sense and Sensibility“

This second painting, a scene with Marianne Dashwood sitting at the seaside from the film "Sense and Sensibility" is inspired by Blanca Álvarez Sanchez lovely tutorial on Patreon. 

Painting wet-in-wet is very challenging for me at any time, and I struggle with this technique repeatedly.

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.

Ist schon klar, es geht um einen Zauberer in diesem Gedicht in der Kinder-Gedichte-Welt und das ist die Illustration für das geplante Buch mit meinen Kindergedichten.Bislang waren meine Kindergedichte auschließlich in der  Kinder-Gedichte-Welt zu lesen und das wird sich jetzt hoffentlich bald um eine Buchversion erweitern.

Inspired by the theme of the actual challenge #81 MY LOVE @aligator_watercolor_community. It's my first portrait of the love of my life, the wind beneath my wings and my solid rock during all storms, we've passed together. 
With this painting I say goodbye and thank you so much to Ali Cavanaugh. I have learned so much and I'm deeply grateful that I was a part of this wonderful painting community. It's time for me to fly more freely and look for new ways of inspiration. In April 2023 I'll be a part again of the worldwide Skitchy session 30 Face/ 30 Days Watercolor. And I'm planning some full sheet paintings for the next time.

  The Flatiron Building: Since its introduction as one of New York City’s first skyscrapers in 1902, the Flatiron has been a quintessential New York City icon that garners immediate recognition, beloved by both local New Yorkers and visitors alike. Floating above the intersection of two of New York City’s most famous streets, Fifth Avenue and Broadway, the Flatiron anchors its eponymous district. Its defining triangular shape emphasizes the building’s unique positioning while oversized windows frame unobstructed views in all directions that span the tree tops of Madison Square Park to the skylines of Downtown. Now, the Flatiron is poised to undergo a renovation that will preserve its historic exterior and simultaneously reconfigure its interior to meet 21st Century demands.

The second painting for my small series (here you can see No.1 of the series), inspired by my own photographs taken at the wonderful and very inspiring HafenCity Hamburg. Reflections, maritime symbols, and signs everywhere, modern and very old buildings side by side. Artist's heaven pure! And there’s another story in Hamburg the “fusion” between the love of my life and I started exactly there. So it’s logical that we both are side by side in this painting too.

 Doing some sketches inspired by @jeanhaines #onlineartschool. The goal is to paint people in motion. Since I‘m planning a large „summer at the sea“ piece, I try to paint cliffs or water jumps.
