Painting with Julia and the Opening Ceremonies of the Europäische Kirchemusik

Julia

On Friday, Julia and Michael invited me over for lunch. Julia and I had made plans to paint together in my wonderful atelier in Schwaebisch Gmuend so we needed some good nurishment !! Julia is pictured here making a lovely dish of spinach noodles with salmon, a salad with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil and a nice chilled white wine.

Such a nice coffee with wee cinnamon cookies

Artists Karen and Fritz stopped by for a visit. Karen and Fritz used to be the proprietors of the Prediger Wein Stüble ... a place I really enjoyed ... Fritz would play the piano and Karen and Fritz would sing ... I spent many wonderful evenings there with these nice friends over the last eight years !! btw ... they are both great painters and we hope to paint together while I am here. Keeping my fingers crossed that this happens !!

The Critique. Verdict: Julia gets an 'A+'

This is the opening of the Europäische Kirchemusik in Schwaebisch Gmuend. How's this for Fantastique !!! It was a presentation of acrobats, light, music, fireworks and story.

Thank you Michaele and Conrad ... It was truly amazing !!
