Watermelon

I have been a bit preoccupied with the exhibit for the kids of course, I am going to hang their works on Wednesday, so yesterday I decided to finish one of my unfinished works. I love my studio and treasure the moments I can work all alone. This painting I started a while ago as a 20 minute challenge, hahahaha! was I ever fooling myself there.....20 minutes, ha! now way... so I finished her yesterday and here she is and she makes me sooo happy, her face shows so much joy. She's a kind of Pippi really isn't she.

and you can find her HERE

Finally ..... 'the Lure'

-some details-

Usually I start a painting with a 'story' in my head, while I work the story evolves and I tend to get excited and dream away with the story that the painting tells me while I am working on it. Sometimes however -like with this painting- the story takes turns and starts to reveal things I do not want to hear or see and this time it got the better of me and I got a bit scared and had to leave it alone for a while, even considering of abandoning it all together. But once the meaning of it all started to make sense and I could live with what it said, I decided to finish it and I am glad I did. The left side of the painting is traditional and in traditional fresco style, the right side of the panel is a liquid and thin with layers of inks and paints, the centre is of course an image everybody knows

- inspired by Michelangelo of course -

allthough a little adjusted to this particular tale where this then is not a creation of the man, but the lure to the deep by the mermaid

The panel seems to be a little challenging to photograph, as if it wants to say 'you got to see me and touch me to understand me fully'

because I always try to make my paintings tactile, I love to stroke them and feel them and understand them, and now I do this one too which has made me happy in the end. {what the painting has started to mean to me is rather personal, maybe you read the same or similar things from it, I don't want to start telling you all it told me and thus destroying a completely different story it might have for you, all I hope is that you will enjoy it}
