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. Daily Painting about summit

All day long people were on telephone: „Oh, do you have such marvelous weather as I have?“ I hadn’t. It was raining all day long and it was indecent cold. June? Summer? No way! But the Eifel is different, I keep saying it and so is the weather. Just different. Daily Painting about guts

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
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.
