  1. Firts I enjoyed the composition and the light..then I guess that despite the brilliant colours it may mean end, closing,passing time, may be decay. This picture is very impressive, Robert. Ciao,Adele

  2. hello Adele, and thank you for your thoughtful comment. I have the same kind of indeterminate feelings about it. Over everything there is bright light, but of a winter day. The sun is declining, but already the days are lengthening. It is not clear whether we are approaching the door or leaving it. It is shut, but there is a letter slot and a way to communicate. The blue color is rich, but the paint is peeling off the boards. The whole picture is framed in shadow, and sadly, the glass is broken. All that I can say is that this collection means something else -- a metaphor -- but more than that I do not know. ciao, robert

  4. Lieber Robert,
    trotz der Zeichen des Verfalls wird durch das Licht und den durch es hervorgerufenen Schatten ein neuer Weg angezeigt und das Bild vermittelt eine Hoffnung, eine Möglichkeit - fordert auf Chancen zu ergreifen .. wundervoller und optimistischer kann das Neue Jahr kaum beginnen! Danke dir!

    Ich wünsche dir von Herzen ein helles und glückliches Jahr angefüllt mit vielen, vielen guten Gefühlen und Augenblicken.

    und danke dir für die freundschaftliche Verbundenheit. Lass uns unsere gute Arbeit fortsetzen. Deine Werke sind eine große Bereicherung für mich.

    herzlichst
    isabella
