Stardust memories

All colours will agree in the dark.

Francis Bacon

Two little blue paintings of a series of four that i'm working on - since quite a while. They have been changing -until now they resemble treflections of the night sky in a pond, lit from the inside. They are quite dreamy, but yet the blue is strong and vibrant and the small dots of color shine like exotic fishes in the ocean. 

Hope your week gets of to a sparkling start lovelies! Enjoy the summer sky and the heavenly blue hour just before darkness if you can - the hour, when the work is done and people in Italy assemble in bars for their "Aperitivi"  - a ritual i like very much and think about importing here.

Drinks, some small bites and relaxed chit chat, before everybody goes home - or - elsewhere - to have dinne., A casual celebartion to let go of the tension of the day, to shake your feathers and dive into the moment.

 Join me tonight?

Vibrant Blue

Colors are brighter when the mind is open.

Happy start to your week lovelies! 

Am sending you LOVE and some fresh, bright blue with golden sparks, which is exactly what my soul is craving for tight now. These are 3 paintings i did last summer and they express that wonderful invigorating energy of the water element.  

I keep thinking how vital the deep blue oceans are - for the planet and for all of us - and of course for all the precious creatures living in it - now being so endangered. A kind of private "ocean awareness". I wish i could do more, to clean and heal that deep blue yonder, that carries the mystery of life.

The year started out with an exiting group exhibition along the theme of "Orange", where my art was shown alongside great artists i admire - like Picasso, Matisse and Baselitz. It was a show in a little museum not so far from us. The curator had the concept, of showing hobby artist, mid career professional artists like myself and famous artists, all united by one theme - isn't that a fun idea?

Right now, it is carnival season here in germany, and you see people dressed up in funny costumes everywhere. Due to various reasons haven't blogged in quite a while and i have missed you!

How did your year start? I can't wait to come visit you all!

Ocean feeling

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Eine neue Serie von Bildern in BLAU, die mir das Gefühl geben, im Ozean zu schwimmen, zu schnorcheln, im Wasser zu spielen und diese wundersame Welt der Meere zu erleben - was Farbe alles kann! Hoffe, Ihr habt einen wunderbaren Start in die neue Woche!

A new series of canvas paintings in BLUE, celebrating the ocean and the healing energy of the water. We had wonderful summer weather over this long weekend and i took my colors outside, which felt wonderful- I also had a lovely friend visiting, a trip to town, a delightful party to go too and a lot of wonderful food to eat. What have you been up to my lovelies?
