 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.

My first painting in 2025 is something really inside my comfort zone. After cleaning up the Christmas in and outside our home, I love to decorate everything clean, fresh, and white with a small touch of Winter.

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.

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.
