This morning I was very sad. Somebody stole the palm tree that I had half of my life. I had it in front of my studio and I spent the day to paint an palm tree at the wall. And I wrote a letter to the thief: You broke my heart, I hope you are nice to my palm. Daily Painting about fruits
Waiting until I have fruits, watercolour, 17 x 24 cm
Yesterday I made my 800th posting. You remember I thought about taking it a little bit more easily, but I tell you, it’s difficult to stop. I really got addicted to it. But I think I gave you so many colours that you perhaps can stand the one or the other day without new painting. Daily Painting about fools
I made so long a fool out of myself until my whole environment was coloured, watercolour and coloured pencil, 25 x 25 cm
In this time I’m a little bit afraid of the cold days to come. I’m sure that some of the tourists passing my little studio will use the winter cold to promenade with their fur coats. Horrible! Don’t they realize that they all look like living tea cosies? Daily Painting about fur
The only one, fur really suits, sepia ink drawing with feather on watercolour, 17 x 12 cm
This morning I got a shock: all roofs were frost-covered and I still had all my indoor plants outside. So I hurried to get them all ready to be transported to their winter exile. So this is it? Are the warm days already gone? And it’s just 5 months since it stopped snowing. Daily Painting about frost
Frostwork harvest, watercolour with chalk, 15 x 10,5 cm
Today I saw people up on the hills flying their kite. It looked so wonderful and exiting, that I wanted to fly like a kite. But then I said to myself: you fool, your whole life is flying the kite of your fantasy through the wind of the art world. Daily Painting about kites

Clear sky and full moon – a fascinating coincidence. Usually I don’t sleep too well in these nights, but not because of the moon. The cats think my old house is not spooky enough and climb on the attic to produce a Hitchcock-like soundtrack. Daily Painting about dancers

There are days when the life of a painter gets difficult. For example when you see a morning sky that shines in such absurd colours that you make yourself ridiculous if you try to use them. Perhaps it gets better when I add two horses. Daily Painting about credibility
The sky was pink, the colour is blue, watercolour,Aquarell, 20 x 14 cm
Sometimes life seems to be an endless hill of potatoes that you have to peel. And in the evening you eat them all and have to start again in the next morning. Depressing impression, if you wouldn’t think of all the wonderful things that means: fresh gnocchi, puree, chips. Daily Painting about peeling potatoes
The potato peeler, watercolour, 25 x 19,5 cm
I didn’t know until yesterday: This is european year of poverty – familiar theme for most of us artists. We are used to direct our lives with the beggar’s staff. But we get back so many presents: art, freedom and a little bit of eternity. Daily Painting about courage
