My regular model comes to visit me every month and this time I had the plan to put only two small LED light sources around her.

Una in aliam – 01-09-19

This oil painting is based on my drawing ‘Nude – 17-06-15’. An artist often sees one thing in another. Salvador Dali saw a rhinoceros in Vermeer’s Lacemaker. I saw a horse in a women’s thigh.

Voorburg – 27-08-19
