This Saturday, 4th July, we are celebrating our creative working lives at Atelier 82, Schneller Straße 82. All the artists will be there from 14.00 onwards. Detlef Grobba and Johnny O' Carr will be plaing Irish music and On The Way Down will be playing their own compositions. I have decided to concentrate on drawings which deal with nature and music this time and am looking forward to seeing and hearing your responses.
The garden is also looking interesting and inviting. Soon the booklet about the development of my interest in this "Green Strip" will be published with my new catalogue, "UMBRA SUMUS"
I look forward to seeing you all!
