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
Dance in body’s own hourglass, watercolour and pencil, 16 x 13,5 cm
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
The private marionette theater, watercolour and ink, 24 x 17 cm
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
From time to time a swanpuddle has to be enough, ink and pencil on watercolour, 24 x 17 cm
Today I cleaned up on the attic and found some books of Virginia Woolf. Strange, she was our guide on the path to feminism and today she seems to be forgotten. But when I watch young girls our narrow path turned into a comfortable main road now. Good. Daily Painting about lighthouses
The way to the lighthouse is now a promenade, watercolour, 28,5 x 23,5 cm
Today I’m in the academy. 70th birthday of my colleague Otmar Alt. Speeches and honours. But I’m glad, that I will see the whole pack of artists working there and have a real good time with them. For me art is the only way to live and I enjoy this madness every single day. Daily Painting about madness
Thanks, that I may be mad – every day, watercolour, 24 x 23,5 cm
An unpleasant day: I had a hangover. Too much red wine yesterday and then a restless night. It’s not alone the headache, the fatigue and the strange feeling in the stomach, but you are unconcentrated and silly. Daily Painting about hangover
Hangoverday, watercolour, 25 x 24 cm
Wonderful news: in Cologne they will name a street after my grandmother Marta Hegemann, the great paintress. All his life my father fought for the apprediation of her work and biography. Such a pity he can’t witness it anymore. Daily Painting about Marta Hegemann
The street of the hundred percent woman, watercolour, 20,5 x 23 cm
Today I’m going to a double feature party: the mayor has birthday and a housewarming party. I think everybody who feels himself being important in our little town will be there, so it could be a gossip factory like the weekly market. Daily Painting about parties
Invitation to dance, ink and watercolour, 21 x 29 cm
Today I visited friends who were on a holiday trip to Rome. But because of storms their flight was cancelled and they had to return from the airport. I wanted to soothe them, but there was no need: they definitely preferred it to a crash over the Alps. Daily Painting about fear of flying
Out of the blue comes the fear of flying – in my dreams it was nice, I was the mistress of all airs, watercolour on plaster, 22 x 25 cm
