You can find this on every ship. Right now I just love painting with my red pigments and the pastels from Sennelier have the most intense and brilliants reds.

I have always liked the long format for my sea and coast paintings. In the very beginning as a young mother I kept them really small (3×9) which had several advantages at that time. First I only had a limited time to finish a painting. Furthermore a small format makes it much more easier to explore the different compositional elements and I could easilyexplore the techniques and easily achieve a painterly density (does this make sense?)
Anyway over time my formats got bigger and with the bigger studio and further paper choice I am finally there where I always wanted to be: Now, if you walk in my studio and look at the painting on my easel you are right there in the dunes at the sea.

At the north coast in Germany I always enjoy my very first view at the coastline after I crossed the dunes.

It’s about time that spring with warmer temperature arrives and I am able to go outside for plein air painting without freezing. This sketch is from last summer at the Danish / German border of the Flensborg Fjord. It was done under the never ending gaggle of hundreds of geese on the waters edge.
