Pencil studies after Bellflowers

 So delicate and beautiful this purple or white flowers hanging as little bells!

Here I did some line sketches after two different sorts of them. 

You can purchase them as prints in my ETSY shop, you can also let me a comment or write me if you are interested in the original drawing which might be still available.

Feliz 2019

Ay ay! I have to catch up this good whish for you all 💖, at least before January is over :D and before Spring comes... that will come, yes !!

The 2018 was a crazy year with a couple of big changes that came like surprises, some old dream coming true this year, like quitting the music lessons and making a living from my art ..  And because life is a yinyan, was not all roses in 2018..,
I am confident and optimist about this already starting 2019 and I wish also your dreams to come true. I am sure now that it can ever happen, so keep on with it!
I will also try to update ofter this blog, as I forgot it a bit due to the easiness and comfort of using Instagram, for those using it also  -->

Feierabend im Fein

Fein, das feine Wasserhäuschen in der Grüneanlage..
Ich habe schon irgendwann ein Skizze von Ort hier gezeigt.. Aber nun kommen ein paar mehr.
Ist es doch ein geliebter Ort wenn das Wetter schön ist .. und dieser Frühling und Sommer können wir nicht meckern .. doch vielleicht etwas mehr Regen wäre nicht verkehrt! 😋

Rhododendon Art Print

The 2018 has started with some very good news!

From October you could find -and buy- a fine art print of this Rhododendron pencil drawing in IKEA stores all over the world!💪
This is just the first one, in the new year you would find new prints. It makes me feel happy that many homes could have a beautiful botanical print from me, drawn with loads of love 😌😍
And I am so thankful to Ann and Rachel from Artpress who believe in my work and made this happen! 💖

Singersongwriters in Frankfurt

in March, one very cold Saturday, we went quite spontaneos to a music shop, No. 2 Records in Sachsenhausen, a beautiful neighbourhood in Frankfurt. There were playing two musicians, first Boohoo Music from Frankfurt. I don't find his website anymore, but it was a very lyrical music!
And afterwards 'Cannonball Stateman' from USA. A very different style, less slow, also indie and a bit heavmetal sometimes! I only could draw his rich, curly mane :D

Pip Fluteman

the British musician was playing in Sugarmama some months ago, and I sketched him.
It was very crowded, as this singer-songwriter has many fans in Frankfurt 👌 It is not a wunder, with his beautiful voice and songs, and his great guitar skills! He reminds me a Shakespeare's trovador 😌

der Himmel über Osthafen

Durch das Fenster meines Atelierraums sehe ich einen breiten Himmel über Osthafen hinaus, der jeden Tag anders ist...
und ich träume ein bisschen von allem.. aber meine Träumen sind doch jedes mal ganz ähnlich und etwas nebelig.

Flores amarillas

Tema y variaciones.
Son de las últimas flores del huerto... bueno, las rosas siguen floreciendo lentas y sin fuerza, desafiando valientes el frío y las heladas de Noviembre..
Como otras veces tampoco yo me cansé y las traté en diferentes versiones..

"Yellow flowers III"

 Yellow flowers... some of the last blooming in the garden season. Only the brave roses still blooming weak and slowly, challenging the cold November..

die Pappeln

riesig, grün und silberig in Mainufer - auf die Offenbach Höhe nochmal - ... Sie bauen eine so schöne zitternde Mauer, und abends wann die Sonne ganz tief ist,  spiegelt jedes kleine Blatt das goldene Licht des Mains hinaus, und es fühlt sich wie es Gesang oder Tanz wäre..

Los álamos, enormes, verdes y plateados a la orilla del Main (otra vez a la altura de Offenbach).. Construyen un muralla tintineante tan bonita! y a última hora de la tarde, cuando el sol más bajo está,  cada hojita refleja la luz dorada del Main y parece como un canto o una danza..

Three carrots

Drei Möhren, oder drei Karotten. Sind die süss oder?

Tres zanahoritas del huerto. Para cambiar un poco de sujeto..

PRINT for sale /HERE/

Ein Blick aus den Grüneburgpark, in ein extrem heißem Juli Tag. Der Europaturm scheint zwischen den Bäumen. Ja, es erinnert mich immer an den Alexanderplatz und den Berliner Fernsehturm.. der aber viel schöner ist, dann bekomme ich Sehnsucht.

Weinfest in Bergerstrasse

oh Mensch, war schon so lange her! Ich war immer sehr beschäftig um meine Skizzenbücher ordentlich einzuscannen.. aber langsam!  Im ersten Plan scheint der Davide.. etwas sorglich Aussehen?? zu viele betrunkene Menschen vielleicht, rum herum..

Hafen 2

Diesmal nicht nur die Leute, aber die Location allgemein... oh ich merke dass wenn ich frei habe, bin ich fast immer in Offenbachs Umgebung... der Main ist einfach so schön da! vielleicht sollte ich dort ausziehen :P

sieht ihr ganz rechts, die ECB?

Latino jazz Band, vieeele Musiker auf die Bühne!

Mejillón colonizado

Algo tienen algunos mejillones que invitan a alojarse en ellos.. serán más calentitos.. o más amables?
Otro dibujo de los hallazgos en playas asturianas..

Eschenheimer Anlage

in der Zwischenzeit, das erste Skizze draussen von Januar und 2016...
Ein Tag mild und hell wie in Frühling.
