Brandstaetter, The Painter


We were invited to his home and drove through
heavy fog in the valleys, making driving treacherous.
Karl Brandstaetter lives on top of a hill...
...above the fog line and we found blue sky
and brilliant sun shine once we broke through
the thick, gray blanket.


Karl shows us where, just a hill and a half over there,
his good friend Giselbert Hocke lives.


Karl is not only an accomplished artist of the first rank,
but also a mean cook and a connoseur of good wines.


His kitchen window, a stained glass creation.
