Maf Räderscheidt – Daily Paintings and more

A painting a day keeps the doctor away

Today a big white stork passed my studio window. I was concerned, it looked quite thin. Is it capable to pass the alps and reach Africa? My animal welfarist heart says it would be better to book a flight in budget airline. Hm, but will the plane reach Africa? Daily Painting about air traffic

Everyday I get up, first thing I do is to have a walk with the dogs through the wood and the meadows. And it’s good to see that no matter what the politicians do, nature takes its own way to chaotic order. And I do my best to integrate in this harmony. But is it really harmonic?

Art Scandal in Cologne: falsifications of Campendonk and Pechstein were sold on an auction. Strange: everytime I bring a painting to this house they reject it because they doubt the originality. Perhaps it’s a compliment for my technical abilities? Daily Painting about truth

I’m always intrigued by the sex appeal of the elder people. Young flesh is everywhere in the advertisements or films. But if you’re older, nobody wants to see your naked body. Is it true that even Goya’s Maya isn’t as luscious as once? Daily Painting about age

Even when I’m not in my studio, I’m working. If I fight for the sick dog or I talk to somebody on the street, when I’m back home and take my brush, the colours start dancing on the paper and all the things I do flow into my art and become a picture. Daily Painting about authenticity

Fighting Day! There is a quarrel about the little dog I take care for. She is diabetic, nearly blind, can’t stay alone and I refuse to bring her into a kennel and a dubious situation. But this is only one war zone, at all fronts is upset. You could think they have an accord. Daily Painting about agreement

All the day I worked on a new idea: little unique books to give away a little luck for the viewer. But when I look at pictures I see that there is so much more you can find in them. Go out and see and perhaps you find your own but complete different story in my paintings. Daily Painting about stories

On the telephone pole the swallows start gathering. They sit on the cables like a Schönberg musical score. Only a few days and they will leave. It’s always sad to see them go. It’s like they take the light with them and ring in the winter. Daily Painting about migrating birds

Panic! The computer is broken down! What about my work, what about the daily painting?? But when I see people in Chile sitting deep down in the earth and waiting until Christmas to see the light again, I keep cool and try my best to get the systems working. Daily Painting about darkness

“You’re still painting?” I’m often asked. Yes, I do. My colours and brushes are old-fashioned, I know. But at least I go dressed in my canvas and no little boy points out at me, yelling: „But she isn’t wearing anything at all!” Daily Painting about paintress’s new clothes
