May be I should try to paint on bigger sizes, like 40x50cm till 60cm. The only problem is the wind and later the storage and transportation. With a small car it could be tricky.

Meanwhile I could say: »Same procedure as every year«. The last week from June 2011, I spent a few days on Rügen. The weather was almost perfect, but I forgot my two reds. First I thought about using a limmited palette, but I wasn’t in the mood. So I started to look for an art shop on this island. But I had a presentiment, that Rügen doesn’t have any art shops, and it was almost true. Almost, because I found in Binz a small shop with art supplies.

While painting the white fishcutter in the harbour, the wind disappeared and suddenly hundreds small insects decided to inspect the freshly painted panel covered with wet oil colours. It seems that they were attracted by the turpentine. After a while I had to stop – it was impossible to continue with all these small insects mixed with the colors.

Here I’m showing 3 finished paintings from location. I positioned myself on the only road in both directions on the peninsula Alt-Reddevitz. While working on the middle painting, a lot people came by, may be more than 100. The main question they asked was: »I this your hobby?«.
