Oil on canvas, 40 x 120 cm.
This painting, 130 x 160 cm, oil on canvas, was made during the period I worked on the painting Evolution 1 (painting of decembre).
It consists of a lot of different layers. Sometimes even with the same color (red over red over red over red). This technique (called “glaceren” in Dutch) makes that the colors increase in depth (sort of a velvet texture).
It’s very difficult to catch this on camera. But belief me, when you’re in front of this one, it almost seems possible to stick your hand inside the painting.
This is an old technique, used for instance by Rembrandt van Rijn, the famous Dutch painter (see example).
First sketches, acrylic on paper

In the pictures below, I mixed a few photo’s a took in Germany.
It were pictures of landscapes and a picture of a tree-trunk (probably struck and split by lightning).
They look almost the same, but in the first one, the landscape and the clouds are more visible.
I am thinking of using these pictures as a starting point for my paintings. I prefer the second one. Because of the colors (the wood in the left corner), but also because this one almost looks like a painting itself. For instance the white horizontal “brush” stroke.
It’s only a starting point. It may well be, that the final painting is very, very different from the pictures I am showing you here.
