I had the honor of being part of the open studio at the "Long Art Night" in Landsberg am Lech last weekend. A subscriber to my art newsletter had pointed out to me that there was an open studio organized by Christians around this long night.

The city of Landsberg am Lech has this “Long Art Night” for the first time since Covid organized again, where artists were given the opportunity to present their art in shops and other spaces.

We had agreed that I should be there on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning to present my art, make my art, and guide people who were making a picture with me Wanted to paint or just be there to answer questions. The plan was for me to stay overnight with Guila's family.

We prayed together for the studio, the art night and the visitors. We had a good time together and each of us pursued our art.
