For this month, the painting Evolution 1 is in the picture.
It’s an oilpainting, 120 x 150 cm. Later more information.

I was not present at the time, but I think these drawings where made approximately one hour after Charles Darwin published his book “On the origin of species”, in 1859.
By the way, these drawings are for sale. If you do buy them, I will donate the money to charity: “SAVE THE DINOSAUR”.
Promise.
Drawings, chalk on paper, 50 x 65 cm.
I finished this piece last week. Slightly different than my other work. Less detailed, brighter colours and with less depth. The blue at the bottom for instance, has the same brightness, the same tonality, as the blue at the top. That makes the painting more flat.
In contradiction to that, there seems to be a sort of horizon at 2/3 of the painting. But the white at the top…? Sky? (but why does it stops then?). And are we looking down on something, or are we just facing a pile of colourful blocks? …..
Hopefully I have the time to frame it and use it for the exhibition that starts at the 17th of april in Harlingen (beautiful town at the coast in the north of the Netherlands). It’s still wet (oilpaint), so I have to wait.

Two pictures of my studio, my atelier, when I just moved in.
Actually, it’s a little bit me also. Because this is the place, where no one else but me, makes the decisions. My own free state, the total anarchy, do whatever you want, no one cares, no one knows. That sounds great, but it also means, that I am the only one responsible, when things go wrong. When I mess up my paintings. Nobody else to blame, that’s the down side.
On the other hand: my little kingdom.
