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!

FULL SUMMER

pure watercolor on canvas 

SIZE: 60 x 50 cm - 24 in. x 19,6 in.

The bright shining faces of sunflowers are the perfect sign for the full summer season. For years I'd the idea to paint again a watercolor on canvas and this time I took a normal canvas and start to paint without any preparation of the canvas. And it had worked!! The drying periods were really long, but then I was able to paint in layers. After the complete drying of the painting, it got a fixative for watercolours to protect it.

Enlightened February

.

Time for a new color scheme and so I've enlightened the grey in grey mood of February with a lot of yellows, glowing oranges and Spring fresh greens. Every month of 2017 I'll looking for colors in my palette that I haven't use long time and play with them. In most cases a new favorite color will probably emerge. My first warm-ups with this gorgeous glowing February palette are little dancing daisies. 

Hope you enjoy my new Color of the Month Challenge.
