I did it!

Maybe it’s a good idea to take a moment to introduce myself.

My name is Ralf. 

I plant trees and give them away for free.

I crack jokes and make people laugh.

I paint.

I train.

I study.

I work.

I love.

I'm sorry if it's I I I and me myself all the time. But I can't do anything but myself. Same for you.

I feel young and enthusiastic about life. We are as young as our enthusiasm and as old as our worries (with respect to Samuel Ulmann and his poem about youth). 

Grown up and educated in Germany, later emigrated to Spain, then to Northern France. One more time southward towards the Mediterranean Sea which is a grand love of mine. I painted it until I lived next to it again. It is also true that my life was a mess more than once in the course of these events.

Enjoy and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  Let's study together.

I hope you find encouragement and perhaps even inspiration from what I’ve produced here. Thank you for taking your time to listen and to read.. Your attention is highly appreciated.
