It’s been a while since I posted something but I thought I’d share this sketch of the observatory in Hamburg Bergedorf. I visited it for a telescope meeting that took place along with the @lndmhh and it is absolutely worth the visit from all the telescopes right up to a library full of astronomical books […]
This acrylic painting was inspired by a composite photo of NASA NIRCam. It unveils auroras on both poles, swirling hazes and the awe-inspiring Great Red Spot, a famous storm that is over 300 years old. The brightness indicates high altitude – so the Great Red Spot appears white in this view while clouds with a lower altitude appear darker and blue.
Finally I could make a photo of this painting. I painted it from a photo that @deepsky.balve took a while ago and I love how it turned out.
Well okay, probably not what Rammstein had in mind but somehow I saw a â€ïžâđ„ in those fire balls đ
And I really like how the painting turned out on the black page đ
Sometimes I wonder why I take so long to share some things đ Like this journal page from last year for example. It had been a nice day in Oldenburg and a fun evening at the Kramermarkt (yes, I am a fan of fun fairs!) with meeting old colleagues. And I really loved how the […]
I’m a bit late to post this one here since I’m pretty busy finishing the next magazine at work but before I forget it, here it is! Damn, was I afraid to ruin my painting. I heard so many stories about the varnish not smoothing out and other stuff that I procrastinated this for months […]
After my last abstract I wanted to try it out with my usual color palette and chose a photo of the milky way as reference. I admit, that kind of kept me from being open because I somehow tried to make it look like the milky way. At one point I tried to break free from it, which resulted in a rather chaotic painting.
Some days ago I took a class from Denise Love about abstract painting and color blocking. I decided to go for the colors she used in her class and mixed similar colors with my acrylic paints (although I somehow forgot to mix the yellow ochre, oops). Then I just went for it and played around with large brushes, my palette knife and a scraper. And I have to admit, that I really like the result.

Originally I wanted to do some watercolor florals as decoration for the tracker but somehow inspiration just didn’t hit me. Instead I felt more drawn to create some abstracts and I recently fell a bit in love with the color combination of spring green, sunset orange and mint green that a friend recently gave me as a task. Today I sat down and played a bit aroung with my acrylic colors and I really like the pop of color they give.
