national arbor day / Tag des Baumes

This sketch is about 9 month old and it shows my favorite tree. I knew this tree since childhood, it was more that 150 years old (which I am not). While painting this I already knew that it was slowly dying. Every year there were less leaves and in November they finally decided to cut…

#doodlewashaday #selfieday

It is selfieday and I can show you my attempt without fearing you will recognize me if we meet:-) Still not much likeness although it isn’t the first try.   Heute ist Selfietag, und meinen Versuch kann ich zeigen, ohne fürchten zu müssen, dass man mich erkennt :-). Nach wie vor keine große Ähnlichkeit, obwohl…

national garlic day

This was an easy choice for #doodlewashaday. In a friends‘ opinion garlic fits for nearly every meal and he likes to use a lot of it. The sideeffect can be that people stay in secure distance the next day. So don’t eat too much garlic when you have a date with your dentist or someone…

The idea behind this strange combination was inspired by friends. She loves dragons and he is very interested in submarines 🙂 Es gibt also einen Tag des U-Bootes. Dabei würde…

farm animal day #doodlewashaday

Und ich mag Kühe und ihre seelenvollen Augen sehr gern (zumindest sind sie das in meinen Augen). Deshalb gibt es für #doodlewashaday heute eine glückliche…

zoo lovers day #doodlewashaday

I must have missed the call for „draw a bird“ so for me it is zoo lovers day today, I hope that’s o.k. too. Because I can say: I love the zoo! So Charlie, here I am with another sketch from the zoo, this time a porcupine. All winter long there was not even a…
