Here’s a little 4x6” color study I did today. I’ve been doing basic exercises (crosshatching, scumbling, mixed gradations, etc.), to master the medium I’ve used sporadically all my adult life: soft pastels. When I first tried my hand at pastels in college, I was surprised by how natural a fit they were. Then I spent most of my adult life being afraid to pursue my art. That has changed this year. I have a personally meaningful series in the works…

🌄 Happy Thursday everyone! Here is a blue hour photo of vineyard hills, about 20 minutes away from where I live. Germany has many beautiful areas, and the Palatinate region is no exception. It was getting pretty dark (I’ve lightened the photo up a touch), and I didn’t see the fox until I was processing the shoot.
🎨 I invite you to follow me for more beautiful photography and artwork. #BreitensteinArt

Could it be? Yes! It’s Caturday!
Here’s a Swiss cat in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino (Tessin).

Last for today (I think). For October in my 2025 Dolomites Calendar, which monumental mountain would you choose?
1. Sliced slope
2. Red face

… and for April in my 2025 Dolomites Calendar, I want to choose between these two images. Which one would be your pick? (This one is HARD!)

2. Cloudy sunset

🍇 Your opinion please!
I’m going to print some 2025 calendars, perhaps on multiple themes. The first I’m tackling is “Vineyard Dreams,” with artistic photos I've made in the vineyards around where I live in Germany.
For March, which do you prefer?
1. Two trees under clouds
2. Vineyard sunset
3. Almond almond cherry rose [cloud]
Please leave a comment with your choice. Thanks in advance for weighing in!

Have you ever been someplace where you simply stood in awe at just how remarkable nature can be? Did you lose yourself in a euphoric, childlike state of wonder? Those moments are called “peak experiences,” key in reaching self-actualization, your true potential.
