Sure, there's barely snowfall in Paris, but if it is, and if this happens in December, the whole magic of a Christmas fairytale appears!

That was a painful experience. I tried painting on the back of the sheet, but the pigments didn't react as I expected, and even adding salt didn't produce any nice effects. I never would have thought that could happen on such expensive paper.

 It was a short Iceland trip years ago, but it was during wintertime and full of life-long memories. I was so lucky that our golden-circle bus tour stopped near a small church so that I could take some photos of the iconic Icelandic horses grazing in the distance.

Auch das ist wieder eine Illustration für ein Gedicht in der Kinder-Gedichte-Welt




Die drei Spatzen


In einem leeren Haselstrauch,

da sitzen drei Spatzen, Bauch an Bauch.


Der Erich rechts und links der Franz

und mittendrin der freche Hans.


Sie haben die Augen zu, ganz zu,

und oben drüber, da schneit es, hu!


Sie rücken zusammen dicht an dicht,

so warm wie Hans hat’s niemand nicht.


Sie hör’n alle drei ihrer Herzlein Gepoch.

Und wenn sie nicht weg sind, so sitzen sie noch.




Christian Morgenstern

 Traveling through Iceland in Winter means less daylight, but it also means great colors in the sky. Although we hadn't seen any Aurora Borealis, the colors in the morning and evening skies were absolutely amazing.

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.

The last nice snow that we had was in January 2021. So, the hope of having a white Christmas this year is again zero. Yeah, we’re painters, so we paint our own winter dreams.

It is a special story behind this painting, not even a Christmas story but a story about a destroyed Aquabord. The first painting on this board was a woman portrait, and there was no point in which I was delighted with the result. But I've created deep scratches for the woman's wind-blown hair. After cleaning the painting ground, they stood there. So I thought that I could use it like a sketchbook and create, with no pressure on my shoulders, just a small Christmas doodle. It came out so nice that I decided to show it to you, and I hope that it will put you in a perfect mood for the upcoming Christmas days. Sure, the scratches are still there, but they don't bother me.

One of the many memories of my beloved grandparents is the story of when my grandpa brought a bullfinch in a birdcage into grandma's kitchen. I've never seen this beautiful bird so close, but at the same time, I begged Grandpa to set this wonderful wild animal free again. And so we did it together in our garden.
