Kunst ist einfach nur ein kleines bißchen Zauberei, Aquarell, 22 x 17 cm
Today I made the first sculpture since I left art school. It was such fun to draw in the 3rd dimension. One more proof that everyday life and artmaking do not fit together too well: I can’t remove the plaster from the telephone handset. Daily Painting about making art

Tonight is the opening of the „Criminale“, the big german crime author’s meeting in the Northern Eifel. Lots of readings and events and now is the first one. I hope it won’t be too dangerous with all the criminal energy around me. Daily Painting about Eifel crime

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
Billigflugreisen, Aquarell, 14 x 10 cm
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? Daily Painting about disorder

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

Wenn die skandalöse Maya in die Jahre kommt, Aquarell, 18 x 24 cm

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

Alle stecken unter einer Decke, Aquarell, 32 x 24 cm
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
