| How to develop an idea |

So this is the way my brain "works"... better to be said: somehow flows, when in need of an idea for my niece's birthday card.

I have no clue, why I took the long way from my basic face, passing by a tower in the clouds, remembering a 18 year old picture of an lighthouse to say hello to a fish and then a birthday parcel as bait ... anyone in for a guess?

Rewards needed? A slightly coloured and signed print of this fishbowl ;)

Archives: Weser at Farge

Talking about Gipi and Pirati this archive's picture came back to my mind: The River Weser at viewing Farge on the other side. A small town where the ferry boat is landing. I sketch this scene over Easter 2007 -- and maybe the present temperature just brought back the memory of that windy and cold bike-ride I took when I painted this. ;-)
