Quoting Lena Brauer
(these quotes were taken from her former website):

"Nature is for me a model and inspiration for all my pictures. These include not necessarily the large landscapes; my love is the little things that are ignored by the wayside, growing, crawling or splashing. I put them equal with the greatest attractions of our earth.

I found my way to painting relatively late, just then, when I lost my first love, the dance. As a dancer I was a real romantic performer, and I am romantic as an artist. It is my intention to paint beauty, and I find beauty in nature everywhere.

Walking trough the mountains and woods I collect the elements of my paintings. They are not paintings of landscapes that actually exist, but I use those elements according to the rhythmus of my compositions.
Since all natural objects consist of particles, I paint them by putting together very small dots and lines, avoiding smooth areas. From a distance, however, they appear as solid bodies and brushstrokes disappear.

Nature is for me model and inspiration for all my paintings. Yet, I am not a painter of grandiose or famous landscapes. My love includes nature's small things everywhere. Things that lay on your way, grow there, crawl or flow without being recognized. I consider them equal to all the great attractions on earth."
