Dad-made Pleinair Easel

Couldn't find a lightweight easel with sufficiently large mixing area.
What do we actually have Dad (engineer) for?
He developed and built this from scratch! After i tested it yesterday it gets a few minor modifications... Jealous? You ought to be ;-)

Rick... In Loving Memory!

I met Rick Harder in the online forum of the virtual art academy. I did not have the chance to ever meet him personally. I never will. The sad news is hard on me.
He was so much committed to grow as an artist and help others grow. He always took the time to answer our questions, was always there with help and advice. He was there wholeheartedly.

Rick, thank you for all and rest in peace.
Your inspiration will last!

Study 2

It was a pretty stupid decision yesterday to paint a complex subject like water lilies at strongly alternating light conditions. Trying to learn from mistakes, I went out today to just study the enemy.

This is a link to yesterday's newpaper article about the exhibition at the Lauth Galerie in Ludwigshafen. It's in German, so do not bother...

Artikel im Mannheimer Morgen vom 1. August

There are cetrainly also plenty of reasons for more critical comments about my paintings... 

Those are welcome too!
