PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE


  

 ´Muse Over Soon´ is finally ready. It took me many many hours, and lots of paint in many layers to create this painting. I've had moments that I wanted to give up. What I had in my head, did not arise on the canvas. The composition was good, but the execution was not satisfying to me. In common I have little patience. But my figurative paintings 'train me' to build more patience. 'Good' is not good enough. It needs to be perfect! And that takes a lot of perseverance, time and energy!

'FEBULOUS' FEBRUARY!!!


February has been a fabulous month for me.
I created a few great paintings and not only that... many paintings have found a new home in various countries. Which pleases me a lot!!! :D

Now there's the challenge to create new ones, in the Figurative series 'Perfect Imperfections' and 'Dynamic Abstracts', because I've got several exhibitions ahead of me!
Today the exhibition in 'Galerie In de Oude School' in Stroe, The Netherlands is opening!
It will last until April 27, so if you are in the neighborhood, go and take a look in this beautiful galerie, which once was a school. The old building looks great, has a lot of great walls and a very passionate gallery owner!
