Rainy Day

Unfortunately the weather in England is quite different to France, but at least these
incredibly dark clouds lend themselves to a good picture. I saw them last Sunday in Tunbridge Wells, a nice place in Kent, south of London.

Mini Stop

 

A vivid colour combination and a bright yellow mini that caught my eye.

Bombay Dreams

This is my last painting of Goettingen for the moment, painted from a photo, in my London studio. I am back here, back to oils and hopefully back to "me" again. Working with acryliques turned out to be not the right thing for me and I thoroughly enjoyed using oils again today. Apart from the medium it was also the subject that inspired me, the vibrant colours and light. This is the sidewalk table of a tiny "restaurant" called "Bombay Dreams" - a name so perfect!

Living Green

Looking down from the tower of St.Johannis church, I realized that there is a big garden right in the heart of the town, which you have no idea of if you don't know. This garden is behind the half timbered houses that I painted a few days ago. You see their red roofs on the right hand side.

For Easter we have gone travelling again, briefly to Holland (sorry René, too short to meet you) and then on to Germany, where we are now. As I found it difficult to use my oil paints with all the mess involved when on the road and visiting people, I opted for acryliques on this journey and am curious to find out how that will effect my work.

I enjoyed painting this van on it's own, as I could study the colour a bit more in detail. Green is one of my favourite colours anyway and I love all the different shades here.

Another couple of young men, the following morning, still a bit worn from the wedding party the night before.

Who's she?!

While these two joung men are probably wondering who that gorgeous girl in the sexy dirndl is, I wonder who they are - cool guys....
There were sooo many interesting guests at the wedding that it was impossible to get to know them all.

Here's a little note that has nothing to do with my painting but as mainly Americans visit my blog, I thought I could give it a try. My German cousin is urgently looking for a guest family in the US (except Florida and California) for her 17 year old son. The organization they have turned to in order to organize a stay for him during the next schoolyear is having great diffiulties finding a family willing to host him. Perhaps you would be interested or know of someone who might be? He is a very nice boy and an excellent pupil. Just write me an email if you have an idea. Thank you!!!

Spurred Green Orange

This one I just manage to catch before it flew away! I needed it as a model.
I don't know if this title actually means what I was trying to say. I looked up the german word "beflügelt" in the dictionary and found "spurred" - seems a bit odd to me. In german it means "having wings" and at the same time "feeling uplifted, nearly as if you could fly".

Here's our green orange harvest - does anybody have an idea how they could be transformed into something edible? A recipe maybe?

Green Oranges

These are two green oranges that I picked from a beautiful orange tree we have. In summer it is on our terrace and in winter in our kitchen and we usually enjoy delicious, sweet, juicy fruit from it. Last summer though was not as hot and sunny as it normally is, so that most of the fruits unfortunately didn't manage to ripen.
Now we have finally picked them and for painting they are great!

Mrs. Gallery Owner

Those who follow my daily paintings will recognize this picture. I decided to paint a second version of it because it is actually the gallery owner's wife and I find that the two paintings work very well together as a diptych. Have a look below - what do you think?

The Gallery Owner

A big "Thank You" to Anne Harwell for featuring my work today on her blog "ANNECHOVIE" She is a very original artist herself and a lovely woman, whom I would love to meet in person sometime. Go and have a look at her wonderful work!

This man, Alexander Yakut, opened the first private gallery in Moscow in 1989.
He is an artist and architect himself. I painted him because I like his strong and expressive features highlighted by the soft greens behind him.
