Jedes Jahr zu dieser Zeit überkommt mich eine unsagbare Sehnsucht nach dem Meer und weil es in diesem Sommer wohl nicht klappen wird, dorthin zu fahren, male ich mich eben ans Meer.

Every year at this time, I am overcome by an indescribable longing for the sea, and because I probably won't be able to go there this summer, I just paint myself by the sea.

Nun, dieser erste Versuch, den frisch renovierten Miniteich zu malen, ist nicht richtig geglückt, aber ich habe eine Menge gelernt und das zählt ja auch!

At the Garden Pond - okay, my first try at painting this scenario is a mess, but I have learned a lot.

Nein, es wird mir nicht langweilig, in meinem Bauerngarten zu malen, und besonders Ende Mai, wenn die ersten Rosen die Fülle an Iris, Vergissmeinnicht und Pfingstrosen ablösen, ist es eine unerschöpfliche Inspirationsquelle. 

_______

No, I never get bored painting in my cottage garden—and especially in late May, when the first roses take over from the abundance of irises, forget-me-nots, and peonies, it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

Es ist für mich jedes Jahr wieder eine große Freude, wenn sich die Rapsblüte über den gesamten Norden Deutschlands ausbreitet. Natürlich gibt es überall in Deutschland blühende Rapsfelder, aber gerade die Kombination mit der Nord- oder Ostsee im Hintergrund ist für mich Frühling pur!

It's a great joy for me every year when the rapeseed blossoms spread across northern Germany. Of course, there are blooming rapeseed meadows all over Germany, but the mixture with the North or Baltic Sea in the background is pure spring for me!

“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.

Preparing a Toddler Workshop inspired by Jessica Durant gorgeous butterflies paintings. My sweet neighbor girls are so excited about these ideas and so I’m looking for the perfect way that we all have a lot of fun with pigments and water. I painted the butterflies with clear water and then put some drops of pigment into each one. I’m sure my little painter friends will enjoy this way of doing.
