between two vernissages

Wasserreich
oil and egg tempera on stretched canvas (linen)
115 x 90 cm

One vernissage is over, the next one is tomorrow. In between I found some time to end a picture, that I ended one and a half year ago. It was important for me to change some things in it, especially the king. He´s one of the mermans that came into my life last year, even I haven´t seen it the first time ;-)
The original robe was white and very boring, so even the king looked pale and impatient. Now it´s rich with little fish tails (can I say a fish has a tail?) instead of ermine. The crown is much bigger, too, and even he looks still impatient (that´s characteristic of mermans) he looks much more better.
The title I can´t translate. I don´t know an exact word for it. Wasserreich has two meanings. On one side you think of an empire under water, on the other side it can mean an area that´s not arid. I haven´t found a word for that.
