Blue Angel | Blauer Engel
This wee guy is down in the crypt at my church. I discovered him more or less by accident just recently and I was totally amazed: an angel with blue wings, and I didn’t even know about his existence! (It’s
Plein air watercolour painting | Freilicht-Aquarellmalerei
When I paint outdoors, that is en plein air, then it’s mostly an elaborate version of urban sketching. Not so this week: I actually took an easel with me, real brushes and very good paper! I started off with a

Am Markt 6, Lüneburg
