Okay, it’s summer again and so I paint something really different. This one is created on an old wooden chest lid, and the area I painted for is our garden pool. Thanks to Jeremy Bishop auf Unsplash for the inspirational photo.

“I’d like to be under the sea in an
octopus’s garden in the shade.” 

— The Beatles

The calm and relaxing atmosphere of aquariums always fascinated me. Standing there and finding peace, watching this unique other world is something I never tire of.

....und es geht weiter mit meiner Nordseetier Serie! Schweinswale haben es nicht leicht in unseren beiden Norddeutschen Meeren und ihre Bestände sind durch den Menschen und Umwelteinflüsse stark bedroht. Es sind KEINE Delphine, sondern kleine Wale. Sie sind scheu und kaum erforscht.
