Dear friends,
in view of the bad situation that the war criminal Putin has gotten us into – as if we didn’t already have enough apparently unsolvable tasks and conflicts in this world – watercolor painting is also a little difficult for me at the moment. Nevertheless, it’s a good way to free myself a little, at least while I’m painting, from the constantly circling mental whirlpools that plague me anyway as a depressed person. I apologize to you that I haven’t commented here since the Kremlin’s cowardly attack on Ukraine began, but I’ve been so busy on social media trying to find out how my friends from Ukraine are doing, if I can support them somehow – that I haven’t had the time to write the blog or post new videos on my YouTube channel in the past few weeks. I won’t be as present here in the coming weeks either, but will post my new watercolors from time to time. I wish you all the best. Take care – wherever you are.

Liebe Freunde,
angesichts der schlimmen Lage, in die uns der Kriegsverbrecher Putin gebracht hat – als hätten wir auf dieser Welt nicht schon genügend offenbar unlösbarer Aufgaben und Konflikte – fällt mir auch das Aquarell-Malen momentan ein wenig schwer. Trotzdem ist es ein gutes Mittel, um mich, zumindest während des Malens, ein wenig aus den ständig kreisenden Gedankenwirbeln zu befreien, die mich als depressiven Menschen ohnehin plagen. Ich entschuldige mich bei Euch, dass ich mich seit Beginn der feigen Attacke des Kremels auf die Ukraine nicht mehr hier geäußert habe, aber ich war so sehr in den sozialen Netzwerken damit beschäftigt, herauszufinden, wie es meinen Freunden aus der Ukraine geht, ob ich sie irgendwie unterstützen kann – dass ich in den vergangenen Wochen weder zum Schreiben des Blogs noch zum Posten neuer Videos auf meinem YouTube Kanal gekommen ist. Auch in den kommenden Wochen werde ich hier nicht so präsent sein, aber von Zeit meine neuen Aquarelle posten. Ich wünsche Euch alles Gute. Passt auf Euch auf – wo immer Ihr seid.
















These are beautiful paintings. Thanks for sharing them, and stay well.

I’m so sorry that you have to struggle with the current affairs that Russia is imposing on your democratic neighbors! It is truely unfair for them to hurt, mame, and kill other human beings. There will be a special place in hell for them! I pray that a resolution can be had very soon!
I find it soothing just to loose myself in my artwork- I am in awe of your talents, please find consonance in that what you do best!!!!

First I must say I love the opening photo – absolutely beautiful. Second – I too have been trying to keep up with the horrors in Ukraine, spending hours on news sites and social media.
But it’s a little easier for me – I am a long way away. Take care of yourself Carsten. Do what you need to do to find as much ease as you can. Wishing you well.
