I have started two new big canvasses with the same flowers. I love these flowers, they grow next to railway tracks and are qu¡te a wild growing weed. In the painting on the easel I have painted the first two layers. The flower paintings I built up slowly.
So I had finished some paintings and then I thought.... no... Why not have more fun? A painting is only finished when I cannot touch it anymore... And today, after having worked on two, my daughter walked in... PINK!!! Who knows where this will end.
Horst Janssen is one of my favorite artists of the last century. I even went to Oldenburg to see his work. A bit of a desillusion, there was not much to see... Apart from his work, I also like the way he 'was'.
I made a sketch after one of his sketches, Nietzsche!
Good painting period. Just finished this new Flower painting. You can find it on the page: PAINTINGS: new and flowers. Here is a photo of the studio last week.
An other day in paradise. I have been working on a commission and an other couple of paintings today. The commission has to be a flower painting in the style of 'flower 022'. It might alomst be there. The size of the painting is quite unusual. So it is a real challange.
We are still working on the new sites. We are getting there! Even though a summer holiday with my daughter got in the way. Holland was beautiful and... SUNNY!
