The last week of february I was invited again to a short trip to Extremadura. After all these cold and dark days in middle Europe, a trip to Spain is always a good idea, where at the end of february swallows and storks are flying around.

Finally I found time to update this blog. I prepared some paintings, sketches and photos from the last 3 months. I start with two watercolors and some photos from the Havel river, about 70km west from Berlin. There, in a very small village – Bahnitz – I had a two days exhibition.
