September
This month was an extraordinarily productive one. My husband was away in the first half and I got into the habit of truly painting for an hour or so every day and maybe a bit more on the weekends. When
A rooster | Ein Hahn
This painting is entitled „The cock of the Baskervilles“ because I was listening to „The hound of the Baskervilles“ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle when painting it.
