No.2 Records - Concerts
Two musicians, singersong writers, were playing in the small and nice music shop No.2 Records in Sachsenhausen this early year. Both American: Jim Reed and Ian Fisher.
It was an intim and intense concert with sometimes romantic and sometimes ironic passages and we enjoyed it a lot.
Jim lives in Frankfurt and Ian will play here in February again so I hope to hear them soon!

Oberrad
A sunny day in Winter I went with my bike to an area I have never been before: Oberrad. Actually not far away at all, but somehow isolated because of the highway and train rails. It was very rural and charmant and I enjoyed drawing there with the early Spring light in the sky.

Mampf - The JB Lloyds
Mampf is a small pub with live music many days of the Week, main stream in Jazz and Blues. It is in my neighbourhood so we go there ofter in Winter.
Here were the two funny blues musicians, I thought no one realise when I was drawing, because I always try not to move my head so much, but the singer caught it very soon and asked me to show him the drawings. He was very excited and like them, so said he :D

Out of Frankfurt - Berger Enkheim
A long and windy road on a cold Sunday of February... I went with my bike to the East of Frankfurt, looking for some nature and peace. And I found it :)
A pleinair gouache painting of the winterly landscape, where the birds already were singing as a Spring Prelude...
More drawing coming! Excuse the long pause!

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...
At this evening I just had a red pen with me... so a bit bloody sketches here.

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 -->
