2:26 am....In my Studio, painting....New idea started to form , for a few days I had this  idea on my head, make a painting called "The cucu watch", based on a song written and played by one of my favorite Latin bands, Mana.(Mexicans).
The song talks about a father, who left his family while the children were still young..Their mum raised them struggling with poverty.
The other day I took a picture of my daughter, Martha.
Now, this painting I'm making his also in Honour of her, the deep meaning is carved on the canvas, is based on the song but...

Martha, Daddy loves you.

All night long....!!!!

I like to work late at night. I mean,  I just love to start painting around 23h.. put some Jazz, or some Bossa Nova, and then...alone in my studio, just mixture my work with the music...Today is one of these nights...Some Flamenco today, and working on this painting, "The dance of the Humming-birds"...

Here are some pictures....:

New paintings...new exhibition!!

So, I'll be doing an exhibition at the Walvis Gallery, here where I live, in Schiedam!It is a great opportunity for me, It will be held in October (I'll give more details in the next weeks) .


I must say that it's about time to make another one, my last was more than 8 months ago, and  I miss the need of being there, interacting with people, see the reactions,etc..You can think I dont exhibit too often, but hey..It's still the begginning and I'm no "one trick poney", so I go slow but steady:)

What I like most about it it's the preparations in the days before, everything must be at their place so we can give the public a nice experience.

For this Exhibition, I thought about making 10 paintings, each of them showing my unique way of feeling the things around me.

For instance, in the next pictures you'll see one big  canvas I'm working on for the past month, it has 2 main carachters, and humming-birds flying all around...the use of bright colours is essencial to show what I want to in this painting.
It's about movement, freedom of doing what you want.I like it and believe it will have a good response from the public!

Well, this is it for now, next time i'll came back with more stories and..more paintings!

It's my way of giving something back to the people who like my Art, and would like to see how it's done.
