Witches are made out of things like mushrooms
and twigs. Everybody knows that.

Es treibt der Wind im Winterwalde
Die Flockenheerde wie ein Hirt,
Und manche Tanne ahnt, wie balde
Sie fromm und lichterheilig wird;
 Und lauscht hinaus.
Den weissen Wegen
Streckt sie die Zweige hin – bereit,
Und wehrt dem Wind und wächst entgegen
Der einen Nacht der Herrlichkeit.


 Rainer Maria Rilke, Schmargendorf, im Dezember 1897.

I returned to full imperial sheet and it feels so right and good to paint again on large formats My inner voice told me that it's time again for loose landscapes and so I started with a lovely loose wash inspired by  Gerard Hendriks

Birch trees are the classical trees at the Lüneburger Heide, the region where I come from and life today again. I love these wonderful white, slim trees with permanent dancing branches very very much.

 Started as a sketch for fir trees on another painting this turned out so lovely, that I decided to add just a little more surrounding to create the atmosphere of a snowy mountain. I'm longing to be outside so much...

  The near Harz Mountains region has a lot of amazing beech forests and during autumn it's the pure joy to visit them. Especially in the morning when the fog is still between the colored tree, the ground is covered by fallen leaves and the wood has this fairytale touch.

During our Christmas family visit, my over 90 years old daddy talked about the Christmas times long ago, when he wents in the woods and brought a Christmas tree at home, cut by himself, in a fir wood full of snow and silence.

Started during a wonderful workshop with Joseph Zbukvic and EPC art courses at Girona 
and finished at my studio. Photo credit goes to Joseph Zbukvic too !! 


When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering,
I say to myself 
Yes indeed, all that belongs to me!

The Lily of the Valley


Sweetest of the flowers a-blooming
In the fragrant vernal days
Is the Lily of the Valley
With its soft, retiring ways.

Well, you chose this humble blossom
As the nurse's emblem flower,
Who grows more like her ideal
Every day and every hour.

Like the Lily of the Valley
In her honesty and worth,
Ah, she blooms in truth and virtue
In the quiet nooks of earth.

Tho' she stands erect in honor
When the heart of mankind bleeds,
Still she hides her own deserving
In the beauty of her deeds.

In the silence of the darkness
Where no eye may see and know,
There her footsteps shod with mercy,
And fleet kindness come and go.

Not amid the sounds of plaudits,
Nor before the garish day,
Does she shed her soul's sweet perfume,
Does she take her gentle way.

But alike her ideal flower,
With its honey-laden breath,
Still her heart blooms forth its beauty
In the valley shades of death. 



Paul Laurence Dunbar
