Recently I was able to complete a special commissioned painting that is somehow quite unusual for my art. It is so different in its colors and expression.
That is the impression I received for the client.
„Ich habe ja nun wirklich lange für dich gebetet. Das ist der Eindruck, den ich für dich empfangen habe. Ich sah Jesus am Brunnen sitzen wie er auf dich gewartet hat. Er hat Dich eingeladen, zu Ihm zu kommen, bei ihm zur Ruhe zu kommen, Frieden zu finden und Dich satt zu trinken, mit ihm Gemeinschaft zu haben, Er nimmt sich Zeit für Dich, ist für Dich da.
„Komm zu mir, komm zu mir, finde Frieden. Komm und trink Dich satt. Es ist genug da!
While I was in the hospital some time ago, I had a deep encounter with God. I prayed for a country I have visited many times. It is currently not possible to travel there. Suddenly I became aware of how God is secretly acting on them. We planted a seed that is now sprouting. Now they have to reach to reach out to God themselves. They are allowed to recognize what God has placed in them and what is already in them.
Bei der Verabschiedung von einer Reise wurde uns mitgegeben: „Ich habe Sie immer gebeten, darauf zu achten, dass Sie nichts zurücklassen. Jetzt bitte ich Sie, dass Sie etwas zurücklassen: Wahre Liebe!“
In my art newsletter I gave away an original prophetic painting to people who gave me feedback. This picture was created of that. As the winner did not want to purchase the original herself, so I am offering it for sale here.
The impression was this:
When I prayed for you, I saw something like a round temple, but with a ballustrade or wall that opened outward into the landscape. The landscape was beautiful, vast and just to be enjoyed. Leaning against the wall was something like a pair of wings, like those seen in carnival costumes. Next to it was a large container of glue.
My impression was that these wings were actually your wings. That you were made to fly. But someone had managed to captivate you and prevent you from flying. He also tried to use the glue to keep you on the ground so that you couldn't stand up to fly under any circumstances. That hurt you deeply, so much so that you didn't want to fly anymore.
A week ago, together with the Gebetshaus München , I had the opportunity to spend a day of prayer in the Altenhohenau Monastery at Father’s House of the Nations. In addition to our house of prayer, a total of 8 houses of prayer and ministries were there, such as FHN Upperroom, HOP Basel, Loretto Salzburg, Kingdom Impact, House of Prayer Augsburg and a few others.
Our contribution should be about the Bride of Christ. That's why I asked Jesus beforehand what a picture I wanted to create that day might look like. This is how the picture that I can present to you today was created.
I am very happy that I can introduce you to two new pictures today. These drawings are special to me in several ways. At one point I hadn't received any new orders or been able to sell any art for six months. I asked myself whether I should adjust the content and stop making art that had explicitly Christian content. Still beautiful art that is praise, but would not contain any obviously Christian themes or symbols.
But suddenly I received an commission from a woman I didn't know. A picture for the daughter and the husband was requested. When I asked whether this should be one or two pictures, the answer was that each of them should actually have their own picture. And then I'm amazed at how incredibly great and encouraging the feedback was. I will post both works in one blog post each, but write the feedback for both.
Surprising flowering in winter
For the painting for the daugther I had the following impression, which I also sent to the recipient:
Last week I used the Bavarian public holiday to visit my parents for over a week. I took the opportunity to work in the home office for 2 days. This week it was mostly very hot and bright weather.
I had brought my diorama from the deer jump (Hirschsprung) with me to photograph it at the location that served as a template for me.
The Höllental (valley of hell)is a deep V-shaped valley in the Franconian Forest. The valley, which is a nature reserve, is beautiful. The village of Hölle (hell) is at the entrance to the valley, at the end of which there used to be the zone border. The barbed wire fence, with the watchtowers and the self-firing systems. Luckily that's all history.
My twin sister and my father accompanied me. Already when we left, the sky was turning dark with mighty clouds: A thunderstorm was announced! Since the descent was quite steep and poorly developed, it was not without its dangers. So we had to hurry.
Time and time again, customers have commissioned me with several paintings. That's why I have a special offer for exactly these people. From now on, commissioned paintings can be subscribed to at a special price.
The following requirements apply: At least 3 paintings, after that the subscription can be canceled at any time. You can decide for yourself when the next picture is commissioned. However, it should be at least 1 painting a year. The subscription remains in effect until you cancel it. The price per picture remains the same as long as the subscription exists (even if I otherwise increase my prices in the meantime).
The standard format is DinA 4 with my artists' watercolor pencils (other formats and techniques in consultation).
The following is possible:
I pray for you (or another person/group), I convert the impression into a painting
I am implementing a personal prophetic word that is important to you
I will do a special Bible passage as a painting for you (e.g. baptism, confirmation or wedding verse)
You choose one of the already existing original paintings from my inventory
etc.
The fee for the respective painting is due in advance, but can also be paid in installments.
I took this picture in May 2017, although Easter was a while ago. I suddenly had the picture of the empty tomb in mind and the power that lies in the resurrection of Jesus. That's why the grave shines so much in my picture. The title puns on a similar image by one of my favorite artists: â–º Rodney Matthews. This is a play with words with "sunrise" and "Son" as Jesus is the Son of God.
„Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!“
Luke 24: 5+6
On request, the picture is of course also available as an art print, poster, canvas or as a custom-made product such as a pillow or blanket.
I'm very happy to be able to present you a new commissioned painting that I was able to finish recently. It was the second commission from a friend in the church, each for one of her daughters.
The picture totally challenged me, for a long time I wasn't sure how to approach the whole thing. I started several attempts, even with some digital sketches.

This is what I wrote to the recipient about my impression:
Hello [...], your mother asked me to pray for you and then to paint my impression as a picture with my colored pencils. Here's what I received for you when I heard for you. I saw you squeeze through a crack in the ground. You left the level you were on before, climbed through the rift to the new level and are now in a whole new land.
What now lies before you is completely blank and unknown. But it was necessary to leave the familiar, well-known level behind you and dare something new. Somehow that wasn't the usual way to leave something behind either. That can be quite challenging, because you have to find your way in the new environment first.
But it is Jesus who has led you to the new level and He will also be with you in the new phase, accompanying you and helping you. Have courage, God is with you!
Warm regards and God’s bless Johannes
