It was such a sunny morning, just after the arrival at the airport  I  photographed a whole series of trees on car bonnets  ... waiting ...  whilst my Ma was attending a funeral of a friend nearby.

Picture
If you speak German you might know that 'bitte druecken' also could be read as 'please hug me'.
Picture
I love advertising columns (Litfaßsäulen).
Picture
Picture
Looks good to me!

I am still surprised how many working Cigarette vending machines (Zigarettenautomaten)  there are on the streets.

First time I have seen brown sheep.

Not sure why I chose to put King Ludwig here. It hangs in a very traditional local restaurant where we had fish.

Schmuselack!
Na, wenn das mal stimmt. Nach der Autowäsche den "Schmuselack" zu fühlen...  Vielleicht klappt da ja auch mit meinem Gefährt ;-)).

Never seen anything like it!

Ingolstadt is a garrison town. It reminds me of Colchester. Just checked the word 'garrison' - interesting  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrison

Matjes, the best young herring I've ever had!

Might use this in a painting.

This used to be a  bubble gum machine. I have always been fascinated by them, my first encounter with value for money.
Click here and see Brot und Spiele, a painting made in 2002.

Voggenthal, a tiny village with a little lift and hill, where we learned to ski.

Except for the last day the sun was always out in Neumarkt!

Wherever you go you meet them in Roman catholic Bavaria.

Those dolls house figures are quietly unheimlich - there's something about the formality of the poses. Like tiny models for a victorian domestic painting. It's good to see what you are doing.

Lovely hearing from you, Doug. My Ma's flat is rather full of a combination of objects with a 'quietly unheimlich' quality as you put it!

    CLAUDIA BÖSE,  a painter based in Ipswich, Suffolk.
     
    I construct my paintings through process, led by daily life, history and nature. I hope my ongoing engagement with light, colour and forms creates a new perception.

    I am inspired and guided by the painterly process and its relation to abstraction; the way I handle paint invites an audience to consider my work without prejudice.
    Decisions about when and how I use paint are also strongly guided by my empathy for work which has been created by other women painters.


    I am drawn to regions which could be described as, geographical and psychological borderlands, especially those which have been interpreted throughout history by artists and writers.

    Recently I began working in a new studio based high in the church tower of a modernist church in Ipswich; this is also adjacent to our allotment.
    The very unusual perspective in tandem with attending to plants has already provided a different grounding and enrichment for my work.
