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.
From above | Von oben
I’m still grasping for straws for that upcoming exhibition on the topic „Above/Upstairs“. It’s a strange theme but I did my best to come up with my take on it. This was an idea I had when I was sitting

Just right | Gerade richtig
These shoes just suit me. They are pretty unfashionable what with their non-shininess, the thick sole and the roundish shape but that’s just what I like about them. They’re my little duckfeet. – Quick 20 mins sketch to brighten up
Second attempt | Zweiter Versuch
Reference photos are just that: photos which help you in composing a painting. This means that much of the information contained in the photo can be adapted to suit your pupose in terms of colour, composition and overall mood. Musing
Favourite mug | Lieblingstasse
This is my favourite small coffee mug. I bought it at Whittard of Chelsea just after I had started my doctorate at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. For me and back then, Whittard of Chelsea was the epitome of
