Following its path starting from Flensburg, steep coast lines, wooded areas and fields trim the water\u2019s edge until the Fjord opens out into an almost infinite horizon to the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n

Sketchbook, 31×22cm, \u00a9 Astrid Volquardsen, 2011<\/p>\n

Over the years I have made frequent visits to the region and become very fond of this part of the world and, at present, the artistic focus of my work on this region has found a special place in my\u00a0heart.<\/p>\n

Whilst, in the past, trading of bricks and rum was a significant economic factor and merchant sailing vessels and the chimneys of brickworks characterized the picture of the Fjord, today it is a holiday resort and a popular sailing area.<\/p>\n

This region is particularly interesting from a cultural-historical point of view. The German-Danish border has been shifted again and again, and it did not reach its final position until 1920. The different cultures have left their mark on both sides of the border whilst at the same time lending an additional and unique charm to the region.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to explore further\u00a0 this beautiful landscape this year and be inspired for more sketches ansd paintings.<\/p>\n
