"Rocks"
It seems like the artist finds his way in the enjoyment of
painting in a 'born free' manner.
Often there are the small and inconspicuous things that contain much richness
and beauty.
A cheerful minded painter discovers them and creates artworks from it, which
transfer this spontaneous enjoyment of painting onto the spectator and creates a
strong feeling of happiness.
