I returned to full imperial sheet and it feels so right and good to paint again on large formats My inner voice told me that it's time again for loose landscapes and so I started with a lovely loose wash inspired by  Gerard Hendriks

 The plan was coming back into the mood for some ink paintings. But after a long time not practicing this technique, the start really complicated and frustrating. This is my first presentable result. Planned was a white cat, but the painting had other plans with me and so it becomes a sweet calico cat. In Germany, we call this special tricolor female cats "Glückskatze", not to be confused with the Chinese porcelain cats.

MAGICAL DRAGONFLY AND BUBBLES is the June challenge at JEAN HAINES online class. This time my own choice was the beautiful white irises in my garden and an imaginary pond behind them.

Inspired and animated by the LANDSCAPE ESCAPE PAINTING for the MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK at the online class of JEAN HAINES I decide to paint this dandelion field as my first contribution. Since my early childhood days, I'm fascinated by spring meadows full of blooming dandelions. Heartwarming images, with father's hand creating crowns of dandelions for my sister and me come back to my mind. For the dandelion heads, I've lifted the pigments and ad some gouache on the wet paper, put salt in the middle and drop some light grey on it.

Years ago I've spent a gorgeous time at Cornwall and since these days I wish I could live there forever. The longing was always a great impulse for painting for me, since my very first steps with watercolor, also years ago. This one was one for my sky- and cloud exercises.

Cats are surely one of my favorite subjects to paint and they are such gorgeous mediums to study all watercolor techniques, specially wet-on-wet technique. This is our new neighbor Burma cat and she's an absolutely beauty with her stunning eyes, so I couldn't resist.

May Day, known also as Labour Day (Maifeiertag) has traditionally been a politically heated national public holiday in Germany. It is linked with the topics of work, human rights and freedoms. Every year many demonstrations and marches organised by unions and interested parties take place across the country.
The real fun starts the night before with the annual Tanz in den Mai (Dance into May). It is a very special night of celebration in many parts of Europe with roots steeped in history. In Germany traditions including bonfires, the wrapping of the Maypole, dancing and partying into the early hours. And for the romantics at heart, the giving of a tree wrapped in streamers by an admirer.
Historically, witches night (Walpurgisnacht) was a Pagan tradition where witches saw in the arrival of spring. It has however, changed somewhat over time and now the focus is on music and dancing the night away.

This was a very busy weekend. In main the time with gardening and framing and hanging most of my paintings at home (29!!) in new white frames. It looks great and so I'm well prepared for an exhibition. Maybe at the end of 2018 or 2019 ... 
This rose watercolor is my kind of "sundowner" and I love these little steps on it, so relaxing and I enjoy it very much. I think there is not really much to do on this. Let's wait and see, what the painting will say to me tomorrow. ...
