They had just followed the yellow signs, not knowing what would be at the end of them. They not only loved my paintings but even bought one. We talked about modern art, especially modern conceptual German art. She lives in Essen and he is from Wuppertal. I absolutely enjoyed my time spent with those two very interesting individuals who really were into modern conceptual art.

and all my collages but also my more representative work. They thought about buying my Tree.

At one point we went to my Summer Studio (I only paint there between late Spring and middle Autumn). When he saw my Blueberry Biker he decided to buy it. So my lovely Blueberry Biker has left me. Now I have to paint his next adventure and his beautiful lover.

In the late afternoon I had another visitor, a lovely lady who visited me a year before.
The third day of Devon Open Studios 2011 wasn't so bad after all!

Two good friends Mike and Kasia are thinking about their good friend Biggetje, who left them a few months ago. They are trying to console each other with a big hug. The two little puppets are their toys.  They are in a red-orange-dark red-gold mood. What does that mean? I don’t have a clue. You will have to ask them. I hope you enjoy the painting. It will be available as a quality print as well as at Saatchi Online and at America Fine Art. I will post the links later on.
The title of the painting is “A kind of Red”. Feel free to make your own original interpretation-association between the title and the painting. It is an acrylics work on a deep canvas, 70 cm x 60 cm x 5 cm. Here are two images; the first shows the painting at an early stage, the second the final result.

I love this time of the year. I know lots of people think it is nonsense and commercial and only about money, food, drink, and presents and this kind of stuff.

]]> Merry Christmas to everyone!

I love this time of the year. I know lots of people think it is nonsense and commercial and only about money, food, drink, and presents and this kind of stuff.

For me Christmas means hope for us. I always become very hopeful for our species (normally I am not), more positive, more optimistic in this time of the year. It is just for a very short time but it keeps me going for the next year.

And I love decorating the Christmas Tree (a very old pagan tradition), probably it is very silly, but I just find it irresistible.
Again, Merry Christmas and a really peaceful 2010 (no war!) for this planet.

Here is a special message from Mintaka with a really funny mixed media art work.

My name is Mintaka. I am stranger here; I was born in the Nebula of Orion.

Your species is dominant, but weird. The only time in the long calendar of the year when you are kind, forgiving, charitable and pleasant for each other is the Christmas time. It is the only time when “men and women open their shut-up hearts freely”. (One of your famous writers pointed this out a long time ago).

I am not sure I understand that. Why don’t you behave in such a way on all the other days of the year? I am watching you and waiting to see you brave and beautiful. Maybe one day….
