La Gomera 2026


As in previous years, we spent the winter on La Gomera again this year. Despite more frequent storms, more rain, and a few cooler days, we had eight very lovely weeks there.






























We stayed again at Casa Humberto, apartamento uno. We feel at home there. We love sitting on the balcony and watching life in the village.




























At first, I was afraid I wouldn’t find any new subjects to draw, because I had already put almost every corner of the island onto paper. Fortunately, I met S. there, who also enjoys drawing. We had a good time together and met several times to sketch — and that’s how I ended up discovering a few new spots after all.








They were wonderful weeks there, and we’re already looking forward to being back on La Gomera next year!

Hamburg 2025

In 2025, I took part in a few meetings of the Hamburg Sketchers. It’s always nice and inspiring to draw together with others. Most of the time, we go for coffee afterwards, and of course we keep on drawing there.

We meet at the harbor, by the water




in parks





and sometimes in lively spots around the city.



















Blankenese 2025

Once again this year, I found myself sketching in Blankenese, exploring new spots and revisiting familiar scenes, usually in good sketcher company.
