“I’d like to be under the sea in an
octopus’s garden in the shade.”

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.

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.

Singer Sargent's Lantern Girls
my version

Do you know John Singer Sargent RA’s oil painting “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose”, 1885 - 1886. Surely you do, it’s one of this Royal Academician’s most famous works. And this will be my version of it. I love the motive and learned a lot while working on it.

If you see Hanover's town hall for the first time, you think it's a palace or castle. But it's not, it a built as a town hall after 13 years of construction and opened in 1913. I love all about this magnificent building, especially winter shows it by its fairytale side, even more from the Masch Park side.

Thaersche Villa with flooded
Dammasch meadows
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 onto the old half-timbered Villa built by Albrecht Thaer in 1793 a the edge of Thaers Garden is wonderful.

Spring arrives in Manhattan
Nearly ten years ago I've had a gorgeous stay during springtime in NYC and since this time I'm lost in love with this gorgeous city. We visited the MoMA and I was thrilled about the number of full blooming trees at 53rd street West NYC. I took many photographs but even without them, I would never forget the marvelous atmosphere.

Ancient Times
Yes, I confess, I love Winter with its gorgeous sundown colors, the silent poetic mood all around. Sure, with clean white snow it looks much better and we haven't had much snow during this winter, so I paint myself into a snow scene and dream about ancient times.
