REACTING TO MOMENTS
REACTING TO MOMENTS
All I ever do is react. Anything may invoke the spell. Something catches my eye.
A sudden angle of sunlight, a shower of rain, the light failing on a winter’s evening. Nothing stays still for long.
The thing is to be there, in the moment, to see it, to record it.
Please note the above painting of the bearded gentleman is not a self-portrait.
It is a copy of a masterpiece by van Dyck that hangs in the Rockox House Museum, Antwerp.
The title of the van Dyck work is, Studies of a Man’s Head. It shows a head in two positions. I painted only one.
That was hard enough.
