Wie schwer ist die Ernte der Ananas, Aquarell und Buntstift, 30 x 22,3 cm
This was a day full of hard work. My head is spinning with 3 different projects. A new one: I plan a painted guide through the Eifel – wonderful, but work under pressure, editor is waiting for it. Sometimes art shows us its humourless face. Daily Painting about labour

Good news from Spain: for the first time a province decides to ban bullfights. I’m very happy about this decision from Catalonia, I detest torture animals for the fun of the masses. This is not a national culture, it’s senseless cruelty. Daily Painting about sacred cows

Today I really needed a pause. Yesterday evening I somehow managed to unpost my Daily Painting and that was the signal: Stop! Have a quiet day! Well, in fact I looked at all the things I did in the last weeks and I felt really special. Daily Painting about flight

Each time I cook I remember the persons who ate this special meal with me before. So I invite always at my table the memories and the spirit of all the persons who were my guest in my life. Sometimes it’s a strange company but I never forget my recipes. Daily Painting about spiritual cooking

Today I found a can with white laquer. This is a sign, I called and began to paint everything that didn’t run away: bed, table, chairs, doors, windows, more tables and so on. Now the can is empty except for a little rest. Perhaps the white colour of my Pinscher needs a little brush-up? Daily Painting about makeover
Hände hoch oder ich male!, Aquarell, 24 x 17 cm
My condolence to the parents and friends of the victims of the deadly panic at the loveparade. My best wishes to the injured people. Unbelievable. Horrible. And astonishing how quick the press turned their headlines from „praise the party“ to „hang the guilty“! They initiated the hype too! And now they make money showing pictures of the dead.

Today I was in the higher areas of the Eifel on a road where you have Germany to the left, to the right Belgium and the roadside ditch as frontier. When I imagine that in this area the most horrible fights of WW 2 took place, I have totally new ideas about political reason. Daily Painting about frontiers

This morning was sunny and the day ended with rain. But my spirit went exactly vice versa, down in the morning, up in the evening. Sometimes my mind conforms to its own rules, like sand running through a mental hourglass. Daily Painting about hourglass

As every day I continue working on my environment. I plan it as a great mobile. The construction is getting a bit difficult, I have to pull strings and threads, and when I try to get it in balance, I get an integral part of my work. Daily Painting about marionettes

Good that it rains a little bit in these minutes. It’s so dry people start speaking about drought. I saw the little streams in the wood vanish. Good that I’m no ballett swan, it would be difficult to find a serious lake to die on. Daily Painting about swanpuddle
