Exhibition starts today

My good friend Martin Schmid Caiazza will be opening his exhibition with a vernissage at 7zehn (just behind KinoMaxx) at 17:00 today. Not only does Martin recycle PET bottles to make alot of his artwork, by melting them down, he is the nicest guy you could ever meet. On a recent visit to his studio he let Bebe sit in his chair and take over his current work of art! He always has the loveliest smile for me whenever I see him. I will be going along to support his exhibition - it's been a long time coming, it was due to open in May but of course aborted due to Corona. 

A beautiful iris in the rain

I was walking home through the drizzling rain recently when I passed the most beautiful iris winking at me through the gloom. I took a photograph and have spent a couple of days painting it. I began with a simple watercolour of the flower and uploaded it to Photoshop where I doctored it a bit to look less natural but I think still pretty beautiful. That aside, the photograph itself is for me, also very special.
