In these minutes I’m in Gross-Gerau (near Frankfurt) to hold a speech at the exhibition opening of one of my academy pupils. I hope you don’t forget me when I’m not here at the ususal time, you know, out of pictures, out of mind. And that’s what the Daily Painting is about

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. Daily Painting about soft-footed spring

This is bad mood day. Snow again, cold again, traffic broke down. But not for me, folks. I felt like walking through the January sheet of one of those calendars you get from the petrol companies: sun, blue sky, trees, snow and a happy painter. Daily Painting about revenge for bad mood

Today a hurricane came over the Eifel. Many trees fell down and smashed cars and houses, power blackout in some areas, and there were even people killed. You need a good guardian angel when the elements come visiting you. Daily Painting about an angel in the wind

In einem Sturm sind alle Engel gleich, Tusche und Bleistift auf Aquarell, 30 x 21 cm

Since days I stare at the news from Cologne: they pull down the Schauspielhaus without any chance to build a new one (like the Kunsthalle) and then the U-Bahn – OMG! It’s like a local version of the financial crisis, the greed has no limit. Daily Painting about a town that dumps itself
