The Half Centipede Fun



122x81cm, 3:2, on paper
Centipedes (Class Chilopoda) are fast-moving venomous, predatory, terrestrial arthropods that have long bodies and many jointed legs.
to paint these paintings was my hardest paint job! 2 paint centipedes is hard work. i begged them to hold still, that i haven't finished his leg # 957, just a few brush strokes more, but they just crawled away. no respect to the fine arts.

Ferdidand Hodler, Vineyard Walking

St.Saphorin, Le Lavaux, Lake Geneva, Switzerland

Hodler,1895 Le lac Léman vu de Chexbres, le soir








Last Pit stop before the Freeway or Train going home. Unpack your picnic, your bottle of St.Saphorin wine, two real wineglasses and not plastic cups, a small swiss army knife with a cork screw, don't worry about the freeway and rest forever. unless you spot this classy old boat from 1906 passing by, then hurry up and catch it at Rivaz. These old ships on Lake Geneva have so much style and class, and their restaurants are great. Rest there forever.

auf den spuren von Malern zu wandern macht mir grosse freude. vor allem wie in Landschaften von Ferdinand Hodler, am Genfersee entlang ganz besonders, wobei um den malerort dieser bilder zu finden, ist es nicht entlang vom Genfersee, sondern auf der höhe vom Genfersee. da ich nicht weiss wo der malerplatz genau ist, schlendert man so vor sich hin und her und vergleicht immer die neuen aussichtspunkte mal hier, mal dort, könnte es hier sein? und ich bin froh, dass die gebildeteten tourismusführer und kunstbesessenen Freizeitgestalter hier entlang noch keine gedenk tafeln und hinweisschilder aufgestellt haben, denn sonst kommen sofort die Bus touristen und der kulturevent versauen die stille, und mir die freude. man schaue nur einmal eine Picasa slideshow an oder gehe an eine Picassa ausstellung. es ist nur noch eine frage der zeit, bis es soweit ist und fremde Leute, die nix damit am hut haben, die hohle hand machen und abkassieren. ich schätze die landschaften von Hodler sehr, und in seinen landschaften zu wandern ist schön. ich durfte das noch seelenruhig und ganz alleine für mich geniessen.

This walk is beautiful. The night before it snowed again on the alps, you can see it on the pictures across Lake Geneva. And this at the beginning of June. It's all relaxing, at the same time you exercise your body and your mind just cools down. The food, the wine, the croissant, the coffee, all is not awesome, not wow, but of high quality. My Walking tour was: Puidoux-Chexbres-St.Saphorin-Rivaz- Chexbres
the main reason I walked this beauty are the Paintings by Ferdinand Hodler painted from Chexbres. I want to find his painting spot.

Le point d'observation se trouve à environ un quart d'heure de Chexbres, qui est situé à 650 mètres d'altitude, non loin de Vevey. Hodler peint en 1895 cette première version du Lac Léman vu de Chexbres.
