Painting in California 14 "At Rocky Point" (sold)

"At Rocky Point"

So, the Open Studio event was a BIG HIT. Takeaway for you guys out there: 'Pr the hec' out of your events. Do newsletters digital, as well as postal, do fb, blog, series, excitement is key. Make sure you can be excited about what you create or organise yourself in the first place... And if you're not fond of working on pr, events, then you can let the galleries do it for you. That's also fine. I like to combine the two. 

I see myself as a bakery. I deliver to the restaurant, but I also sell from my own store. Isn't that just logical?

And now that the big date is behind me- doing the shipment and paperwork now - I can PAINT again. A welcome change ;)

I started to paint close ups to really focuss on all the (light) effects that were going on.

Walking around in these Nature reserves I could only think "I need a 4 x 6 feet sized canvas".

Painting in California 12 "Sunset at 17 Mile Drive" (sold)

"Sunset at 17 Mile Drive"

To have paintings enter the Carmel competition the canvasses had to be stamped the day the festival started, and painted within two/three days. So a lot of paintings were created before the festival started, and could not be hung on the walls. Those I took with me to Holland. The first one during festival time is this one. The boys and girls hurried over to 'the sunset spot' and I just followed. Nice, painting together, and all of these new/old faces of new/old facebook friends. What a joy. (California#12 sold in Carmel.)

I loved the foggy days here. Fog came, everything turned white, grey, cold. Fog went, everything got blue, sunny, hot. Jacket and hat on- and everything off again. And this repeated itself 10+ times a day. Loved it.

Painting in California 7 "Visualising scenic beauty" and philosophizing

"Visualising scenic beauty"

I'm not being cocky when titling it this. People approached me when painting on the Carmel beach. Asking me- what are you painting? I replyed in a (probably) dull way, because later on the (Indian) wife came up to the easel and she corrected me: "You are visualising scenic beauty."After I was repeatedly saying to myself "REMEMBER this, don't forget this!" This is great. This is the solution. This is what it is. Essence found. In three words. 

We're not "painting the sea" "painting the hillside" or "painting the hillside in sunlight". We ARE painting what we're struck by.. Not? We are "painting the beauty we witness (feel) looking at the hillside in rain." (...) Just a thought..

To visualise a beauty seen- we must have really seen it, felt it. Otherwise we could never visualise it in a true manner. This is why painting -from the heart- is best.

At the Carmel Festival there were times people chose a subject because it had proven customers for it. (Or at least their -hearts desire subject- was replaced by a - what would be best- attitude towards a choise of subject.  No problem. BUT: - how can you visualise a beauty (in a 100% beautiful way) when you are not 100% painting what YOU like. (We're no printmachines are we?)

How can you be a -one of a kind painter-  when you don't follow your own voice=heart?

I could go on. But will stop. You all of course know this. :)

Knowing who YOU are. Loving who YOU are. Following YOUR hearts desire will find you YOUR voice, YOUR style, YOUR unique art. And that will resonate with the world. Because it's a true voice. - And even when you have this LONG. Don't faulter to tweek a subject, or corrupt your choice for entering competition's sake. Be true. Stay true. Then don't win (the competion). But stay true! (Gaining YOUR power.)
