Einer der schönsten Augenblicke, wenn wir nach Süddeutschland und speziell nach Bayern reisen, ist für mich jedes Mal der Moment, in dem man den ersten Blick auf die Alpen hat. Jenes majestätische Gebirge mit seinen oftmals noch schneebedeckten Gipfeln und ebenso der Anblick der ersten Kirche mit dem für die Region typischen Zwiebelturm sind ein wunderbares Gefühl für den Urlaub.

For me, one of the most beautiful moments when traveling to southern Germany—and to Bavaria in particular—is catching that first glimpse of the Alps. That majestic mountain range, with its often still snow-capped peaks, combined with the sight of the first church featuring the region's characteristic onion-shaped dome, creates a wonderful holiday feeling.

This time I've chosen a not-so-famous scene from Pride and Prejudice 2005, more rural and summery. Nevertheless, my personal party celebrating Jane Austen's 250th birthday continues.

 A walk around the Dammasch meadows near the Aller River in Celle is always a good idea. And if the meadows are flooded even more. The view of the old half-timbered Villa, built by Albrecht Thaer in 1793, at the edge of Thaers Garden, is terrific.

I‘m unsure if it is really finished 🤨 I have a bit of struggle with her skin on the arms and legs. The rough paper does not allow a soft lifting and blending… and so I declare it for art and ready 😂😅😂😅 . . Inspired by a license-acquired photo from Adobe Stock DATEI-NR.: 89697754. I have discovered this image and I loved it at first sight and know, I must paint it. It was a little bit complicated because I had to buy first a license and it isn't allowed to sell this image. But none of that frightened me and I really enjoyed working on this wonderfully happy and optimistic motif.

“Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.” 

– Bertrand Russell

One more loose painted landscape with wanderlust in my heart. Such lovely memories visiting Tuscany in May, for me the most magnificent season ever to enjoy this wonderful region. Fresh green, every street lined with thousands for poppy flowers, clear blue sky, warm ochre sand ...

Inspired and animated by the LANDSCAPE ESCAPE PAINTING for the MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK at the online class of JEAN HAINES I decide to paint this dandelion field as my first contribution. Since my early childhood days, I'm fascinated by spring meadows full of blooming dandelions. Heartwarming images, with father's hand creating crowns of dandelions for my sister and me come back to my mind. For the dandelion heads, I've lifted the pigments and ad some gouache on the wet paper, put salt in the middle and drop some light grey on it.

***A Haubarg, rarely also Hauberg, is the typical farmhouse of the Eiderstedt peninsula on the northwest coast of Germany and is a type of Gulf house. It emerged in the late 16th century when West Frisian immigrants brought with them the Gulf type of farm building and it was to continue to be used until the late 19th century as a farmhouse. In the Netherlands these houses are called stolpboerderij.

The word "Haubarg" means a place for piling or stacking hay (see hooiberg). As a byre-dwelling, man and animal lived for centuries in haubargs under one roof, albeit in separate rooms. www.wikipedia
