At last.

I am bouncing from one subject to another, trying to find a thread. It's a way of getting back into a flow after a long time without regular practice but I haven't quite found THE thing that sparks a thrill... bear with me!

A good friend of mine who studied with me at the art school in Berlin a long time ago, lives and works in a lovely old workshop. The photo I took there when visiting him in summer inspired me for this painting.

At the Seaside

oil on canvas panel - Öl auf Malplatte - huile sur carton entoilé
15 cm x 15 cm / 5,9" x 5,9"

This is a sketch for a larger painting I might want to paint soon. It is based on one of my all time favourite black and white photographs of my parents and was taken when they had just started dating. I love the carefree mood and the feeling of summer, sun and love. And, from a visual point of view I really like the way the colours of their clothes form a cross - a checker board design - and I like the angle, seeing them from below which gives lots of open sky as background.

My Book

No daily painting today as I am still working on the commissioned portrait of Paul.
But instead I would like to present my new book to you! In it you can find a selection of my work from the last two years.
It shows portraits or typical items and scenes found around my house and the area in the Dordogne in Southwest France where I live and work. You can preview the book and order it for 29 Euros by clicking on the picture below. Have fun!
(Makes a great christmas gift, too!!)

Backyard in Barcelona

When in Barcelona we had the pleasure of staying with a friend in his lovely apartment - a breathtaking place with walls and doors probably three and a half meters high, with a beautiful mosaic floor throughout the entire apartment - even the toilet! - and an old marble sink in the kitchen. I loved the glassed veranda from which you could vaguely see the backyard with other little terrasses, washing hanging on the line, basketball baskests, flowerpots and many other features all in pastel colours, due to the fact that the windows hadn't been washed for ages -
like most windows in that city, by the way! And then that piano in front! So romantic!

Summer in Barcelona

Now here's the reason why I didn't post any paintings during the last days.
I went to wonderful Barcelona! Just the inspiration I was craving for! Heat, beat, great food, colours, etc......!! Hopefully my photos will result in some good paintings - I'm quite pleased with the first of the series...

St. Emilion

We celebrated the first warm day of spring last weekend with an outing to the lovely old wine town of
St. Emilion, which is about an hour by car from our home. For several years now it has been a World Heritage Site and once you're there you understand why! It is a picturebook part of France, located on a hillside with narrow little streets, climbing up through medieval houses and with lots of cafés, restaurants and wineshops (of course!). I will be posting a few more paintings of St.Emilion in the next days. Enjoy!
