Blue Hydrangea - a Rilke tribute
SIZE: 14,8 x 21 cm
PAPER: CANSON® SAUNDERS WATERFORD® Art Book 300g/m² cold pressed
Like the last green in the painter’s pail
are these leaves; dry, dull, rough
behind the blue blossoms, a blue not borne
but reflected from above.
A reflection, both exact and approximate,
a desire, soon to be shed,
as old, blue-lined paper
fades yellow, then violet and grey;
Fades like an apron,
unworn,
of no use anymore.
In this do you feel the shortness of Life?
But suddenly blue shines new
in one blossom,
and you see the blue hue
drunk with green joy.
A rare Rilke poem ending with optimism — resurrection and connection — a flower drunk with joy!

This year is a water year in my garden. I have created two mini ponds, which work really well. We have had a few small fountains for years. Birds, hedgehogs, and small and bigger frogs have enjoyed them. Surely not the best page in the project, but I like to show the whole sketchbook. I learned a lot from it.

Okay, it’s summer again and so I paint something really different. This one is created on an old wooden chest lid, and the area I painted for is our garden pool. Thanks to Jeremy Bishop auf Unsplash for the inspirational photo.

“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.

Hier bei uns in der Lüneburger Heide gibt es viele Seen, oft im Wald versteckt. Ich habe immer die kleinen bunten Wochenendhäuschen geliebt, die an ihnen liegen. Sie wirken, als seien sie nicht von unserer Welt.

There are many lakes here in the Lüneburg Heath, often hidden in the forest. I've always loved the small, colorful weekend cottages beside these lakes. They seem enchanted as if they're from outside our world.

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.

For my work, I decided on the western facade of the castle, which is rarely or not at all shown in paintings. This is completely hidden behind trees in summer and you can hardly see the castle. But in winter, and especially when there is snow, the moated castle character of the facility comes into its own. Celle Castle was built around 980 as a fortified tower with the attributes of a water castle.
Otto the Strict continued developing the building in 1292. Remnants of this era are the cellar vault and the lower floors of the watch tower. The current Celle Castle has its first documented mentioning as “Castrum Celle” in 1315. ... for more information: Celle Castle
