Observing, photographing, and painting frogs is a lifelong pleasure for me. Maybe their part in the fairytales during my childhood, maybe their feature of transformation. I don't know it exactly. But I think they like me too, because we've had some in our garden for years.

with the name Frectibaldur. One lovely summer evening he decided to discover the world outside his pond. "I will have to hit the road before nightfall, otherwise the great old owl will have an eye on me", he said and so he leaves the pond and jumped into the lovely warm summer evening...

Yes, it's a kind of bubble mania and I can't stop thinking about new motives with bubbles still inspired by www.watercolourinspiration.com

No artist could enjoy a waterlilies pond without thinking on Monet's famous paintings and his gorgeous garden in Giverney. And so I do, every time I discovered a waterlilies pond I'm inspired and thrilled. These gorgeous variations of blue, green and light. This painting isn't more than a study but I love the interaction of Viridian and Indigo Blue on the water.

WATER LILIES POND 2

SIZE: 24 in. x 18 in. - 61 x 46 cm

PAPER: LANAQUERELLE GRAIN SATINE 300 g/m²

Wieder habe ich ein neues Papier getestet, da ich in den letzten Jahren fast ausschließlich raue Papier bevorzugt habe und mit den glatten Oberflächen fast keine Erfahrungen gemacht habe, entschied ich mich dieses Mal für ein grain satiné von Lanaquerelle. Ich bin mit dem Ergebnis nicht wirklich zufrieden. Es ist schwierig das Licht zu erhalten und bedarf noch vieler weiterer Übungen.
