Variation nr 10 is an oddball. The flickering and the light bulbs in the joints almost create a kind of stellar constellation.

Variation nr 9 shows a further development and I felt more and more confident to show more. This one I found it to be a success and a prestudy for The Madonna of The Hague later that year.
