Jam Sessions in Club Voltaire
It is a very authentic club in Frankfurt.
I went there a couple of weeks ago with Valeria and other friends.
There was open stage and different musicians and singers making music having fun. We had fun too, it was a great atmosphere and I sketched while dancing a bit and drinking some beer. That's all you need to be happy: friends, music, beer...

Palmengarten ...
again!
We are having a very grey, dark, grey, rainy Februrary (not today!). It is also very cold, so on Sunday there is not much joy to go for a hike. That's why a couple of weeks ago I went for a walk to the Palmengarten in Frankfurt. There is cosy and green, and if it is raining you can go inside and feel a bit tropical, even if it is still dark and grey! 💚
First I tried to stay outside, and I sat under a evergreen tree to paint this majestic Beech tree with oil pastels which are good when it is wet and raining... but the rain didn't want to stop so I moved inside to paint more greenery and the crazy Orchideas blooming! wow, they look a bit like aliens to me...

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 -->

Palmengarten Frankfurt
A sunny, Summer Sunday morning at the Palmengarten in Frankfurt. I went for a guided visit on the subject "Palmtrees". It was very interesting, afterwords I make a walk through the gardens and sketched a little bit. With watercolors and with black ball pen.
Also I went inside the greenhouse to draw some tropical plants. I will bring you soon some more to keep faith and strenght over this grey year time!
Meanwhile have a nice 2nd Advent!

Feierabend im Fein
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! 😋

Frankfurt am Main
direct at the river shore, a Summer evening.
I drew this watercolor on location in 2016. All the people were outside enjoying the warm evening. At the background, the Mainhattan Skyline under the pink and golden sunset light.

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 London who believe in my work and made this happen! 💖
