During a 10-day exhibition in June 2022, I started with this oil painting. Several months before I made this mini ballpoint drawing, that kept popping up everywhere; in the living room, in my bag, amongst my daughters' toys... 1 of my daughters also drew her own version of it. Finally I understood: this sketch needed to be worked out.
It's a super detailed painting, where I really had to practice my patience. If I try to speed up the progress it won't develop to my liking. It works best if I approach this process as a meditation, when I don't pressurize, carefully observing what is happening, and gently adjust where necessary. And above all: don't think about the end result, or when it will be finished.
In case you'd like to view this painting in my studio in The Netherlands, you can make an appointment to come and visit.
