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.

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!

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.
