Sometimes you think you are strong and wise, and you think you know what lies ahead. And then you start running. Watch out, my friend, blindness is your companion and surprises are waiting everywhere. Daily Painting about darkness
Tapped into darkness, watercolour, 24 x 17 cm
Today I found a molehill in my garden. I love moles, they are cute, black and velvety. But I’m worried: my cats kill moles. And so I think about scaring it away. Perhaps they hate radio? Stones? Marching music? Stravinsky? Yma Sumac? Daily Painting about moles
Attention mole, watercolour, 16,5 x 19 cm
Today was Farmer’s Market in Schleiden. Actually it is not only a market, but a social meeting point, see and be seen. But above all this market is the heart of the local Gossip Exchange System, so I feel myself completely informed now! Daily Painting about gossips
Gossip factory, ink, watercolour and charcoal, 24 x 32 cm
New colours came today. I unpacked them and watched the pouring rain, as suddenly the dogs went berserk and I heard a heavy gasping. And when I looked I saw 20 firefighters in gas masks running through the rain. Oh, I’ll get evacuated, I said and they yelled back, yes, quick, come with us! Daily Painting about emergency response drill.
Upcoming hecticness, watercolour with drawing ink, 24 x 32 cm
Football World Cup started today. Everybody’s very excited. Usually I can’t decide which team I prefer. And I’m touched how happy the winners are. But then I can’t stand the crying losers. Perhaps I didn’t understand the idea of the game. Daily Painting about football.

Is it an accident that the german government announced these unsocial cost cuts a few days before the beginning of the football world cup?

Bread and circuses, watercolour, 14,9 x 10,4 cm
Today I was in Lindlar, where I lived decades ago, to talk about an exhibition. And I looked out of the window and saw the driving school where I learned. I was aghast. It was an awful time in my life and this driver’s license was my ticket to freedom. Daily Painting about memories
Good old times, watercolour, 15 x 10,5 cm
When I throw a bucket full of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, I think I will spend the next years in jail. And BP? Will they be charged at all? I doubt it. Perhaps it’s a matter of dimensions. You just have to destroy a complete ecosystem and nobody dares to sue you. Daily Painting about full power
Full dash into the buttercream, watercolour, 24 x 13 cm
This evening the sunny days have their usual ending: huge clouds with thunder, lightning and heavy rain. But today the rain was so soft and warm that it was a real pleasure to enjoy it. And the air was like a soft kiss in the dawn. Daily Painting about changing weather
