It is wonderful to start a new painting. Nothing is fixed and everything is possible. The beautiful fall colors outside inspire me and remind me of last spring’s lockdown.
It may seem like I am always working on one painting at the same time. That I finish that painting and then start a new project. This is not the reality.
I asked my followers on Instagram and Facebook to vote for my painting that entered the contest ‘Painting of the Year’. A lot of my followers did do so, for which I am very grateful. But I never showed the painting properly. So, I’m going to show you the painting and tell you why I made this painting and what my inspiration was.
It is wonderful to paint from a feeling, even if this feeling isn’t a happy feeling. During the spring corona lockdown, I kept a diary. Before I started painting, I read a number of passages in my diary. The feeling of that strange, uncertain period therefore forms the basis for this painting.
People always ask me what I wrote in my painting. Usually I only tell what book inspired me. I want people to make their own story, not to adapt mine. But for once I will quote some of the texts I wrote.
Part of the Storie-series was made during corona-lockdown. These are the Corona-Stories:
'Tranquil Cities,
Longing to go Outside'.
The influence of the environment always plays a role in the creation of art. This unique period also leaves its mark in the arts.
This week I completed a new painting in the Story-series: 'Lost'. The painting has beautiful fall colors. As with all paintings in this series, the painting changes as the light changes.
