South-east from Berlin is located the Seddin-lake. There is a spot, where black-headed gulls, great-crested grebes and black terns are breeding together. I spent about 6 hours on a boat bridge not covered in the bright sun. My left face is now sunburned. Actually I wanted to sketch the black terns, but all these breeding grebes were good subjects of painting.

On the last day from our painting trip, I managed to made these 3 small oils. The painting in the middle was the last one. I started with it, because there were still a lot of oil colours on the palette.

In the middle of April I invited 2 wildlife artists – Eugen Kisselmann and Robin Shillcock to Zingst for a paint trip. The weather was very sunny but cold with strong wind. It was a productive meeting with a lot of sketches and paintings. More to come…
