Last night we went to the island of Sylt to celebrate the tradition Biike. Something like a big bonfire. It was the first time we had no wind and rain from left to right but a glory on the firmaments sky.

Sketchbook: Gouache, pencil, pen
I was back and I found some time for sketching while having lunch. So the initial sketch was done in pencil. I added the gouache later at home.
Recently I was asked what kind of materials I use. Here is the answer:

First choice: The products of the Gamblin company.
If you want to paint toxic free I use the new product line of Sennelier.
I finish with universal varnish.
SUN! Clouds! OUT.

This painting goes home with a new collector. It moved me so much when I framed it and had a last look. It reminded me so strongly about the time I had spend in the very north of Denmark with fellow painter Susanne Mull. Magic light, magic soul time.

Last week I finished the painting »The glow of copper roofs«. It goes without saying that this is one of the most beautiful views Hamburg has to offer. Now it has to dry completely before I put on the varnish.

Set goals, go for it and then just enjoy living and stop worrying. You alone are responsible for the colors that fill your blank canvas of life. No one else.
I want to thank all the people who bought a painting of mine, attended a workshop, came to my exhibitions or touched my life. Thank you.
