Sign of the times

I've finished a few new small paintings from the 'Sign of the times'-series.
Now one more assignment is waiting for me.
I'm looking forward to it, but I have to wait for the delivery of new canvases before I can start.
Next I'll be taking a break. Anyway.. I'm planning to take one.
The last months were loaded with lots of professional and private pursuits and I feel I have to take a break. Meaning a pause in creating with my hands.... it never stops in my head though!

On the film set

Yesterday my friends and I went for a walk on the Sahara (I cannot help it, it's really called the Sahara, and it's not situated in Africa but in Belgium). I often go there because of the forest, nature, beach, water and quietness. Suddenly we noticed something strange on the horizon. Above the slope of the landscape we saw 2 roofs with chimneys which weren't there a few days ago. We got curious, walked up to it and found out that it was a film set of the new Flemish movie 'Frits and Freddy' with Tom Van Dyck and Peter Van den Begin. I'm really very impressed by the Flemish film industry and its actors. I love their sense of humor, acting, feeling for cult and art etc... Although, lol, the art in one of the houses was really awefull and awesome at the same time because of the setting it was situated in. I'm really curious about the movie (a comedy) which will be shown in the Belgian cinemas as from December 15, 2010.

The day after... ;-)

It was a lovely ánd successful (yes!) afternoon, last Sunday, during the opening of my solo show at Gallery De Kei, Nuenen, Netherlands. I had a great time meeting again clients who already possess one (or more) of my paintings, and new interested people. I love being alone in my studio, doors locked, music loud, far away from daily life and just dive into my paintings. But next it's great to hear what people experience when they see my art for real. And it's very important for my development too.
