Another drawing that I did for an article but didn’t make the cut. Inspired by the TV show Transparent.

I'm a painter, curious student of life and traveler.
Mannequins
Mannequins are standing in a row….
Absoluetly love this song
Because …
… there are people with scrubs where their heads should be.
New vanities
The last month I was doing illustration for another article for 14 Magazin. This one is inspired by an article about new vanities… whatever they might be.
Dancer…
I have been drawing a lot lately because I got a new set of ink pens and a big selection of water colour pencils.

Practiced drawing with ink pens. Results see below.
14 Magazin
A friend of mine asked me if I would like to do illustrations for an article she was writing about wildlife in the city of Freiburg, Germany, for the local 14Magazin. Here are the results of that collaboration which I really enjoyed.
Pelican!
Fell in love with pelicans while watching them surf the waves of the pacific ocean in Guatemala.
Also uploaded some other drawings.
Old paintings moving around
Some photos I received a while ago that I totally forgot about. This old painting of mine which I gave to a friend many years ago is now gracing the wall in her house over in the States.
Upcoming Exhibition Nov 2014 – Jan 2015
YES! Another exhibition is coming up. This time again in the southern part of Germany, Bad Buchau to be precise. A town not far from my hometown Ravensburg that I grew up in.
The exhibition is titled “Menschen” (meaning “people” in English). It is a mix of paintings I did between 2007 – 2014. The works have been inspired by people that I meet during my travels – friends, acquaintances, random meet ups that influence you in one way or another, big or small. The exhibition is dedicated to those people.
Fundstück: Pressetext der Federseeklinik zu meiner Ausstellung.
Owls
Yes, so I liked this photograph of an owl so much that I started drawing it….
Update 2014
So finally something new. Have started painting again and the first one has been added to the 2014 gallery. Although I am not sure whether I am actually happy with it or not. Hmm… I might change it after I am finished with the one I am currently working on. I spent my last few off days painting butterflies. Here some excerpts.
Time for another Siesta
And as it is all about paintings of mine moving to new locations, Siesta II recently moved from Darmstadt to Munich.

Siesta, I love you!
And one more! One of my firsts and one of my all time favourites that is gracing this white wall in Oulu, Finland.
I will visit it soon enough 🙂
A new place for Bambi
It’s all about old paintings that found a new home this week. This one is adding a splash of colour to a friends apartment in Reykjavik. And he was so nice to take a more that professional picture of it when I asked him for a random shot. I think I will ask him to photograph my new paintings once they are finished. He definitely did a good job and knows what he is doing.
As he wrote me: “I used a 50mm fixed lens, with shadowless ring light, 7 exposure bracket with deep zoom detail and color accuracy to photograph your print.”
Takk fyrir!
Lost in translation…
Another painting that found a new/old home in Meckenbeuren, Germany, is this one here that has been inspired by an amazing day in Portmarnock with view of Howth, Ireland. Yes, I miss that place.
