Recently I found this statue of a little tanner and had to come back with my sketchbook. It was a nice shady place to sit and sketch. Neulich hatte ich in Hilden diese Skulptur, pardon Plastik eines Gerbers entdeckt. Also musste ich mit Skizzenbuch natürlich nochmal hin, und es war ein schönes schattiges… Statue weiterlesen

Benrath Castle / Schloß Benrath
Last weekend some sketchers met at Benrath Castle in the south of Duesseldorf. It is small but very pretty and is surrounded by nice gardens. The castle seemed a bit overambitious on that beautiful summer day. So I choose some of the statues behind the castle to be my motive. It is rather a collage… Benrath Castle / Schloß Benrath weiterlesen

It has been unusual hot over here for a long time now and still no rain in sight. So perhaps the statue left to buy some ice cream? . Es ist seit gefühlt Wochen sehr warm und immer noch kein Regen in Sicht. Vielleicht ist die zum Mantel gehörende Statue ein Eis kaufen gegangen?
Two statues / Zwei Statuen
This two statues are made by artist Hannelore Köhler. The standing lady is pretty small and resides in Duesseldorf oldtown. The sitting figure has found a very nice place in a park.

And the back of Eva is a real eyecatcher 🙂 . Diese Statue im Floragarten stellt Adam und Eva nach der Vertreibung aus… #30x30DirectWatercolor2018 19 weiterlesen

This young lady stands hidden in a park fitting her sandals. She is very attractive but I’m afraid in my version due to not sketching in pencil first she looks a bit odd and some parts of her became way too big:-]] . Diese Dame steht etwas versteckt in einem Park und bindet ihre Sandalen.… #30x30DirectWatercolor2018 09 weiterlesen
deer in the park / Reh mit Kitz
This is a little statue in the park I cross nearly every day on my way to work. A deer and fawn standing in the shadow of some old trees.

This is a statue or actually a fountain in a park in Duesseldorf city. It is known as “green lad” . I think Joseph Hammerschmidt had a different name in mind for his work but the name fits because it is very mossy and green all over although there is no water in the pond… jröne Jong weiterlesen
Jan Wellem
As a child I had no interest in history or statues with one exception. The reason was that I loved horses and I really liked the bold horse Jan Wellem is riding here. The correct name is Johann Wilhelm Joseph Janaz von der Pfalz. He was born in 1658 (of course I had to ask… Jan Wellem weiterlesen
