"reaching a very interesting combination of shapes and colours now again making a knot and then disassembling the blue flow across it in many different drops converting against one another"

PAINTINGS: MONTH #167
"making an effort to paint after long days spent taking care of livia and having only little time in the evening and during the weekend with her still walking around on my feet and looking at me painting and keeping it the line of the previous painting now with very little yellow and green shapes squeezed as thinner veins of different rocks below the colder colours"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #168
"back in the netherlands finally able to paint during livia's nap and continuing pretty much with the horizontal shapes of the previous painting almost as an inner stratification"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #169
"finding the time to do another painting early in the morning getting back to the blue drop as well as the circle shape reintroducing the black and thus giving more a third dimension to the whole abstraction"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #170
PAINTINGS: MONTH #171
"painting executed during livia's naps and now not so much pursuing the blue flow across the painting but only hindering to it making all the other colours flow upward and also now not cutting the painting but using the entire panel only doing the entire cutting later with my new paper cutter"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #172
"fully in charge of livia finding not so much time to paint but at last producing yet another paint almost mirroring the previous one and creating a side blue flow almost as if it continued on top of the painting also recovering the red surface"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #173
PAINTINGS: MONTH #174
"now getting more systematic about painting and in particular preparing and cutting the painting to be archived and again doing a quite symmetrical painting to the previous one pretty much maintaining all the colour and shapes slowly curving the diagonal tendency"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #175
"preparing the sketch for the painting for the first time using the pencil to keep cleaner borders and recovering the green surface under the yellow one creating a deeper effect but having no paper to clean the brush so not going too much in detail with the colouring"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #176
"giving up my sunny study to make baby silvester's room and moving my study to the attic now painting under the roof with far less light but quite a good set up and now following up the lines and shapes of the previous painting trying to balance out the red surface"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #177
"again a painting executed in my dutch attic with again little light only coming from a small window in the roof and making the shapes using a pencil to begin with dislocating the black circle outside the blue surface getting a much cleaner result without the need of altering the contrast of the resulting photo despite the darkness in the attic"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #178
"still painting in my attic while livia is asleep and again using a pencil to draw the background developing more sophisticated shapes still somewhat in line with the previous painting but with a bigger blue surface"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #179
"continuing the previous painting now with the same movement of surfaces upward and feeling quite satisfied yet being unable to render the half black dot on each side in their colour and spending much time post editing"
PAINTINGS: MONTH #180
"simple painting maintaining the same movement as the previous one but now colouring a big circle outside the blue shape and also making it yellow not having to elaborate anything digitally despite again the darkness in the attic where the painting was executed"
