Andreas Roseneder autumn balloon aqua brique on canvas, 110×130cm
today I did not smash pumpkins as it may appear on that image. I just inhaled the colours of autumn & let their language & speech settle down on the canvas. seen through my pupil to my hand for some prospective. – anybody arround me was interested in - I think the intense natural coulours of nature suffice to everybody´s satisfaction without artificial change at the moment. but art may let take a second view.
Andreas Roseneder burst balloon watercolours on Ecus Sistina
sitting in a meadow between mallow & thistle a strange phenomenon surprised me yesterday: this transparent vision of a imaginary balloon appeared again, stroke my eyes & was sting by the pointed leave of the pannonian subspecies of a sea holly that it burst in a sudden & revealed incidentally the secret beauty of that plant.
back in the bowels of earth´s nature again!

painting with watercolours open-air in burning sunlight requires even a quick as sure handling of the brush. sometimes the inbearable heat or a threatening thunderstorm seduces to go to far in movement & the brushstroke leaves some splashes on the paper. it would be easy to erase them with a wet towel before they dry. but some inspiration may tell that they are illustrating a perfect manner of movement that fits to the initial task. here it happened this way.

He has three sisters, who live in the house with him. They are great witches. Each day they cook human flesh and pounded green corn, for Wolf will eat nothing else. The sisters spend most of their time driving elk out of this field. Neither Wolf nor his sisters have hearts in their bodies. No one can kill them, for their lives are in another place. In a corner of the house is a couch, under the couch is a lake, on that lake a loon is swimming around, under the right wing of the loon are four hearts. The largest heart is Wolf’s, the second largest belongs to the eldest sister, the smallest belongs to the youngest sister. If you pinch one of those hearts its owner will fall to the ground, If you crush it its owner will die.”…
