Seascape summer # 1 Sunlit children shoreline - Kinderen der zee
24x30 cm, oil on canvas panel

Half way through the painting I couldn't find my mirror. I went a long walk to my car, and drove to the shop area. Found a drugstore. Bought me a mirror!, went back to my easel and gear and painting still standing there on the beach(!). Imagine the crazy effort!! But I love the result. This time I got beyond my 'finished' stage, on purpose (thinking-I'm loosing all that's been great-oh no). And what's left to me feels like a kind of 'essence'. The memory of the reality of the morning was more important than the reality itself with its changing conditions. The memory of their high lit, light reflecting bodies felt endearing to me. The scene painted here never occurred pricisly like this. The girl I saw on the right, three children I saw on the left. (different light/perspective!) They wore different clothes. But when pushing a painting into essence, all that matters is feeling, composition and the painting-colors and strokes itself. To create a harmonious painting/feeling, I guess.. :) [But that all of course is a personal view on things..!] Buffer

It's beautiful Roos! How great that no one bothered your easel and belongings while you were gone.
