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.

and all my collages but also my more representative work. They thought about buying my Tree.

The Decrepit limbs of Mr Elm

At one point we went to my Summer Studio (I only paint there between late Spring and middle Autumn). When he saw my Blueberry Biker he decided to buy it. So my lovely Blueberry Biker has left me. Now I have to paint his next adventure and his beautiful lover.

In the late afternoon I had another visitor, a lovely lady who visited me a year before.
The third day of Devon Open Studios 2011 wasn't so bad after all!

She was hidden there by a vicious Spider-witch.  The witch wants to suck the delicious blueberry sweet-scented juicy life from the Blueberryess.  Can the Blueberry Biker arrive in time to rescue his lover? Can they live happily ever after together in Blueberry-Land?

I love both of them, the wild bilberries (low bushes in the forest) and the cultivated blueberries from the high bushes from the garden. In the Lyalls Cottage garden 150 North American cultivated blueberry bushes are growing.  We have a blueberry orgy almost every day between August and September. They are big, sweet-sour, dark, tasty and really beautiful to see.

This painting is of course inspired by the blueberries in the garden, the blueberry ice crème (yummy) , the blueberry hill and all the blueberries fantasy. The Blueberry eye is a fantastic giant eye within the reflection of one blueberry, clouds, lights, sky and some weird creatures.

From Wiki:

Researchers have shown that blueberry anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, flavonols, and tannins inhibit mechanisms of cancer cell development and inflammation in vitro. Similar to red grape, some blueberry species contain in their skins significant levels of resveratrol, a phytochemical.
Although most studies below were conducted using the highbush cultivar of blueberries (V. corymbosum), content of polyphenol antioxidants and anthocyanins in lowbush (wild) blueberries (V. angustifolium) exceeds values found in high bush species.
At a 2007 symposium on berry health benefits were reports showing consumption of blueberries (and similar berry fruits including cranberries) may alleviate the cognitive decline occurring in Alzheimer's disease and other conditions of aging.
A chemical isolated from blueberry leaves can block replication of the hepatitis C virus and might help to delay disease spread in infected individuals (it's not a cure, though).
