November 2008 Beginning of November I got an assignment for a new painting / company logo. Maybe you are interested to see the proces how such painting develops. So you can look over my shoulder. Let's hope the final result will be what I hope... a very enthousiastic client ;-)) 1. It started with a conversation on a spiritual Expo in The Hague in the Netherlands. A woman asked me to design her a company logo. This symbol will be the basis of the painting, and the painting will in its turn be the basis of her logo.

While I was painting I was having problems with the two rounds shapes left and right. What colour should they be? How should the energy move? What are they for? I couldn't figure it out. But when I put the painting in the already darkening living room and watched it from a distance I suddenly saw what I had painted... a donut as seen from the inside!!! I sent an email to our friend and seer Yvonne, just to show her what I'm up to now. That same night she replied saying that she sees eyes in it. And she got a title as well... Face It ! Well... that sounds good! So before the painting is halfway finished we have a title ! That's not the usual chronology in doing things, but meanwhile I get used to this. Great! 3. (18 November 2008) Here I only had about 2 hours of time. The colours are intensifying. The upper part is slowly beginning to give of light, and some kind of tornado starts developing through the central axis.

Slowly the colours are deepening, and the accent of the energy movement is shifting. This is a long proces of endless adding very thin watery strokes of paint. 4. (22 November 2008)
It seems like we're losing colour depth here, but I can assure you that the colour will come back. My thought was that I'm going too slowly in building the colours, being too carefull, afraid to do something wrong. So now the approach is a bit more direct. To the end there will be time to do the fine tuning. 5. (24 November) A few hours more airbrushing and you see the tunnel like light are developing stronger. Funny to see that some of the colours that were there in the first painting have completely covered by new layers of paint. That's how it goes. I wonder sometimes why, but stick to thought that everything has a reason. Fact is that the colours get more and more depth and transparency. The Light is getting stronger.

12 December 2008 About finished now. When you compare the painting above with the one below, you'll see a strange effect that is caused by the appearance of the stars. h Playing around a bit with light and positioning of the painting make a lot of difference...
