Amrum – Strandkörbe
And this is my farewell painting, which I painted on the evening of the last day of the course during a very pleasant get-together at the Fischbäcker restaurant on the beach in Norddorf.
I don't think the result is particularly successful, but it is a wonderful reminder of that evening – with a really great feeling of the work being done for the week :-)

Amrum – Gewitterhimmel
I had to hurry so much with the first painting because of the incoming tide that I still had time to paint a second picture at the Nordspitze, this time with a view towards Norddorf:
There I saw the weather that had been forecast coming towards me... it turned pitch black and I had to flee the beach and cycle back in the pouring rain.
Amrum – Nordspitze
Since we rescheduled today's course for the afternoon due to the weather forecast, I used the morning to paint at the nordspitze.
I stood on an ebbing island that was shrinking very, very quickly – and then I had to wade back through water that was already knee-deep. It's unbelievable how quickly the water always comes in...!

Amrum – Düne
After cycling around the island all day looking for good places to paint, I painted in the dunes in the evening. The wind was so strong that I didn't have much choice of subject matter and could only paint what I could see from my hollow (I would have preferred to paint at the front of the beach).

Eine neue Artistravel Malreise brachte mich auf die Insel Amrum:

A new Artistravel painting trip took me to the island of Amrum:
I have a very personal connection to this island: I got married at this lighthouse.So it was obvious that I would paint it first.
It was the perfect start to my week of painting there.
I have painted this motif several times before:here are the previous results (you can see a certain amount of progress, can't you?)

Ostsee Pleinair Festival – Dünengras
After the good feeling with the first painting of the day, we decided to experiment a little: Here I tried to detach myself even more from the subject and concentrate more on the structures.
I completely painted over the grass a few times - not because I was dissatisfied or struggling, but simply to try out different things.
More like a scientist :-)
Ostsee Pleinair Festival – Hinter den Dünen
In this painting, I was so inspired by the beginning of Torsten's painting that I approached the motif more freely and loosely right from the start.
Somehow it almost painted itself - that's rare, but always a particularly pleasant feeling.
A bit like a little preview of my future painting self ...

Dünen Pleinairmalerei Workshop auf Borkum
![]() |
Dieses Bild war meine Demo am ersten Workshoptag. Der Wind war unglaublich stark, so dass wir eine ganze Weile nach einem windgeschützten Platz für 10 Maler suchen mussten - dafür hatten wir dann aber ein besonders schönes Motiv gefunden, wie ich finde.
Der erste Workshop ist für die Teilnehmer immer sehr herausfordernd, da sie fast alle ihr Equipment das erste mal aufbauen, das dann im Wind, mit dem ganzen Sand zu machen, ist echt eine extra Challenge!
This painting was my demo on the first day of the workshop. The wind was incredibly strong, so we had to look for a sheltered spot for 10 painters for quite a while - but then we found a particularly beautiful motif, in my opinion.
The first workshop is always very challenging for the participants, as almost all of them are setting up their equipment for the first time, and doing this in the wind with all the sand is a real adventure!

Düne Borkum
Und schon bin ich auf der nächsten Insel um einen weiteren Artistravel Workshop zu geben: dieses mal auf Borkum.
Das ist mein Ankommbild: die Dünen hier sind ganz besonders wunderschön, ich freu mich schon drauf dort mit den anderen, die übermorgen ankommen, zu malen!
...und ich hatte einen sehr neugierigen Besucher.
