20.01.2022 Where do I get my inspiration? I have been asked many times. When you see the world or more in tune with these days terminology ënvironment"in a special way where you are capturing colour combinations from nature, colours that change under different atmospheric variables you absorb these visual experiences and later on they raise to the surface and get expressed into the works I create. A person can also be a source of inspiration, the colour of the dress a friend is wearing.... Watching Attenborough sea adventures etc. From waking up in the morning with a view of an Ayers Rockmade with orangy bricks from next door house to the view I get after 12 steps where I see my backyard full of green leaves passing through my living room where I have very colourful cushions and some of my paintings on the walls is a start for the day and the creative "juices"start flowing.

07.01.2022 Months of resting and planning and no working. The knee needed full time attention so the wool took a second place. Thank you for your support to those that were aware of the situation. Things are starting to get better. Then had my fall and around 20 days of difficult times. ... All gone. And getting back to my normal life and recovering nicely but slowly from my times having very poor sleep. It takes a while to get back to the routine of working everyday. Soon I will surprise you with some new pieces still on the drawing board. See more
