buying

I think the time has come to do something I’ve been dreading for a while. I now have a few drawings I really like so I should try to sell them. I’ll start with Sailing into the sunset to try it. If that works out allright I’m going to sell this drawing.

Inspiration

While watching the BBC show Click I saw a carpet with colored circles that reminded me of something. Something I thought would be very nice to draw although at first I didn’t know what I was drawing.

Lying in bed I close my eyes and look at the inside of my eyelids and after a while a stream of pictures start showing. I’m never sure whether this are picture I remember or that I’m fantasizing them.
But before the stream of pictures start I do look at something. You would think that the inside of your eyelid would be black but it isn’t. Instead there is a jumble of colors and shapes. A lot of colored circles come rushing by and oblongs and all sort of shapes of which I don’t know what to call them.
It’s actually quit nice to watch.
(I’m always wandering whether other people also see this jumble of colors and shapes when they close there eye.)

Choice

When you start a drawing like this you know three things. It will be a lot of work. The result warrants the work and a drawing like this has no real top or bottom.
Which makes it the kind of drawing where the buyer can decide how to display it.
