That title is in some ways metaphorical, but nevertheless it is also literally correct. My Panta Rhei painting has been sold to someone who really loves it. To someone who is also a very nice person. It is a nice feeling to know and to be sure that my paintings are in good hands. Especially something like Panta Rhei, which has been with me for such a long time. I have had a few potential buyers through that time but we never could agree about the price, until now that is.
A few word about this painting:

Yesterday completely out of the blue a German couple visited my studio. They had just followed the yellow signs, not knowing what would be at the end of them. They not only loved my paintings but even bought one. We talked about modern art, especially modern conceptual German art. She lives in Essen and he is from Wuppertal. I absolutely enjoyed my time spent with those two very interesting individuals who really were into modern conceptual art.
She loves my weird stuff, like My Brain

Today is the second day of Devon Open Studios 2011. No visitors today. Yesterday a couple with a child visited me. They just saw a sign on the wall and because the child needed to take a leak they stopped and visited me. They were nice people but not really interested in my paintings or in what I am doing or why I am doing it.

Tomorrow is Thursday 1st September and it's the launch of Devon Open Studios 2011!
It takes place at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter, Stocker Road, EX4 4QB between 2-9 PM. There will be speeches at 3pm, followed later by entertainment and of course the artist demonstrations. Several artists will present their art works, and one of them will be me. Refreshments will also be available. It's a great space, and we hope (the artists and the DOS organisation) it will be a great day, too. The studios themselves are open from 10 AM on Saturday 3rd for two weeks.

I created a video/slideshow to present my art from the last two years. Paintings, collages, installations, small sculptures all created in Devon, in Dunchideock. And of course lots of nature, black swans, trees, a cat and nice music.

I love trees; I guess it is impossible not to love them. They are the silent guards of human history, both collective and private memories. If they only could talk…they would be able to tell us the most incredible stories, stories beyond our imagination.

My first 17 months of living in the country, in a real village have been a wonderful experience and bore lots of wonderful paintings, collages, installation and even small sculptures. The nature of Devon inspired me to be very creative with materials and to experiment with unusual topics for me. I hope it will move me forward to discover new possibilities for the surface, texture, patterns of my paintings and to invent new original genres.

Since three months ago, we have lived in Dunchideock in Lyalls Cottage. Dunchideock is a small, old village, with the house itself dating from around the 15th century. But, the house as a house is only a house; walls, a ceiling, thatched roof, and a floor. The most important part of the property is the garden: a beautifully fabulous, magical and bewitching place. The garden and the house are surrounded by all kinds of nature including horses, rabbits, deer, pheasants, foxes, and veritable smorgasbords of birds which all emerge silently from the forest, hills, meadows and fields. The scent of life: the scent of a real, simple, rural life.
All the nature, the garden, the air, the colours and the music of Dunchideock are inspirations for my new paintings. I spent almost my whole life in big, bigger, and even the biggest cities. If I had been told, say, four years ago, that I would have loved to live in a small village, I would have proclaimed that the person was totally irrational…
