A garden without water isn't a garden. I love to have several spots with water inside my garden. Some are for birds, hedgehogs, and other critters to bathe and drink. Some are simply to enjoy the murmur of falling water with fountains. And in recent years, we've had many frogs visiting these locations.

Observing, photographing, and painting frogs is a lifelong pleasure for me. Maybe their part in the fairytales during my childhood, maybe their feature of transformation. I don't know it exactly. But I think they like me too, because we've had some in our garden for years.

....und es geht weiter mit meiner Nordseetier Serie! Nordseekrabben sind mindestens ebenso lecker wie Schollen, drum ist Platz 2 ebenso wohlverdient.

Painting ducklings and other Spring animals are always such a relaxing thing, and so good to calm down and only have fun with the painting progress.

I can't stop painting sea turtles, so this is a further one for you. They are such elegant underwater animals. 

Worldwide, six of the seven sea turtle species are classified as threatened or endangered due to human actions and lifestyles.

Sometimes you feel that's time for returning to your comfort zone and so I've created some loose background washes and look what appears out of them.

  The glowing colors of November, even when the weather is grey, foggy, and cold such are a wonderful inspiration. And painting landscapes in a loose style is something I really adore.

I will never forget this special moment years ago on the dreamy island Koh Samui, Thailand. While walking in the unbelievable warm ocean water I discovered that there were so beautiful starfishes around my feet. The lovely Online Art School of Jean Haines brought back these amazing memories. Thank you so much, Jean!

While missing the sea in the Corona year, I love this theme at Jean Haines Online Art School www.watercolorinspiration very much. I can walk at the beach in my imagination looking for starfishes, feathers, seashells, and beautiful stones.

That's so far my last watercolor painted on wood. I've enjoyed this little summer project very much and the results look very charming on the brick wall around our terrace. Over the years we've collected a lot of maritime founds, which are decorated there and so the whole ensemble looks a little bit like a seaside restaurant.

One more watercolor painted on wood. I love the maritime feeling while doing this, the near to the ocean, which I missed so much during this COVID year.
