The rainstorm yesterday evening brought no cooling but left an air that was soaked with wetness. I felt like I was walking on the ground of a pressure cooker. And the whole day I was looking for my circulatory. I still remember the times when I had one, it was nice.

Summit in Toronto. How comes that I don’t believe all these well sounding words? How comes I always have the feeling of watching a perfectly directed production of The United Politics Theater Company? The promises are rich, but the realisation is sparse.

Did I miss something? Already November? But why are the leaves still green? Oh, it’s so awful cold since a week I really start to worry about the harvest we can expect. But I hope, when we are asleep, at night, on the quiet, there comes a little bit of spring.

In these days wild daffodils bloom in the meadows of the Eifel. A wonderful sight, even when it snows a little bit like today.

It’s unfair! It’s spring and everywhere I see beauty developing. And when I look in the mirror I see the same old face I already know for years.

Tomorrow morning I found a dead baby owl right under the tower of the church vis-à-vis. I guess it fell out of the nest, it still had a mouse in the beak. A barn owl, an expert told me who looked at it. I’m very sad, I will bury it now. Daily Painting about that dead little owl 28 March 2010, 6:36 pm Sorry, this entry is only available in German.
In these minutes I’m in Gross-Gerau (near Frankfurt) to hold a speech at the exhibition opening of one of my academy pupils.

And that’s what the Daily Painting is about 25 March 2010, 7:16 pm Out of pictures, out of mind, watercolour, 25 x 22 cm
The turtles woke up! They’re all healthy and allright. I let them run around in the studio because it’s still too cold outside. But now they chase the cats from the fireside and bite the terrified dogs that try to hide under my new painting.
