Cristina Blank aka 5 Blanks: The German Goblin of Worthsee

I'm sure you all heard about the legend of the German Goblin of Worthsee.  Some say he lives at the bottom of the lake of the same name.  Others say he lives in an attic somewhere on Im Grund street.  Others just don't believe the tale of how this creature comes out only on full moon nights and paints the strangest paintings you have ever seen.  So strange that they are gathered and locked up in the church vault before sunrise.

Well thanks to Cristina, we can now put an image with the legend.  And what a beauty it is.  A huge 21cm x 29.5cm (8 1/4" X 11 3/4" ), as Erni use to say.

The paint itself is soft to touch, and the Goblin is a cut-out glued on to an intense background.  Very inspiring.  It's like Halloween come early.

Thank you very much Cristina.  I'm very grateful and at 3.45 euros for postage, I'm humbled you sent it to me.

I'm not sure.  Being German I expect him to be more of a beer drinking type of guy.  But I'll keep an eye out for him on Saturday night.

He comes out on Saturday then...it is the night of the full August moon!

Will he visit the Tea House, ya think?
