I like the new paintings "Stille Orte" especially the way she has painted the trees..the way they are not too distinct....more like printed trees ...and the work did get stronger in the developement I like the way the verticals of the buildings are balanced by the horizontals in the foreground and this could be even more emphasised
The flax flowers are good...nice contrast of the profusion of the flowers and flax with the backgound calm of the sea...and the way the horizon divides up the picture plane...have a look at picassos beach pics theyre all about that.
The tulips are great...more OBSERVED and considered than the poppies which are lighter and decorative...they have a sophistication which is nice and she has really studied the design and formality of the leaves and got some 3d happening.
I loved the stilleben abstract...it works beautifully as a composition , more than the other abstract which wasnt as brave...in this one she really pushed it around until it worked and tonally it was great too.
Interested to see the simply water pic...it works really well and not an easy subject to paint,...have tried it a couple of times without success...
The palms good too...i like the way she is bringing good drawing in and still managing to make a painting as well ...
I loved the dipdytch "Im Schilf" especially...for some reason it reminds me of alex katz a bit....
