Closer to Myra and the Goose

The past few weeks I have been working on this very laborious Panel, rich in color and shape.

It is a free translation of a very small black and white picture from one of the family albums of my late father

I dont' know who Myra is, but I can tell that she enjoys being in the park just as I do.

It's an ode to all the unknown...

Yesterday, on April 16the 2019, I finished this painting.
It's a selfportrait: me and my (first) cat in the summer of....? Somewhere in the seventies. In the backgarden of our home, unaware of all the things to come....

I'am really happy with this one.

- art is how to see, how to observe, how to remember/ art is to work hard in silence -

- sunday,march 3th 2019: visiting the siebolthouse in leiden, last day expo kacho-ga.
...all these beautiful japanese prints and drawings and poetry -
it really touched me...

- i like to be with people, in my own way, on my own terms -

- today i was in town. i went from one place to another. there were many people who also went from one place to another -

- cold and grey outside - i make the colors inside - today its ultramarine -

- the daily walk at the river - where I meet the birds, the little horses, other persons with theirs dogs - we smile at eachother - we all are in the grey wide open with the sky above us -
