In middle of a painting, Svenja Wahl, Germany

This wonderful painting is large, about 21 x 21 cm, painted on panel. The surface reveals large white brush strokes, what is under the surface? Are we lost in a snowstorm, a cloud or blinded by the sun? When your eyes get used to it, one sees a distant map and a sign "gut" (okay) and I dare take a step ... out into the landscape!
Thank you Svenja!

Comment by Marie Wintzer on May 4, 2012 at 12:45am: "Gut" is really an understatement :-) just great, Svenja!

Comment by Carina on May 3, 2012 at 6:16pm: Svenja, I got this painting on monday this week, strange, it really seems to be a varying mail schedule between our countries! Glad I got it, thanks again!

Comment by Svenja Wahl on May 3, 2012 at 5:01pm: Carina, wow, I've sent this like ages ago, maybe 4-5 weeks? Sometimes the mail art between Heidelberg and Finland is there in two days, and sometimes it seems to take a sideway? Anyway, I'm very happy you like it!!
