Dear readers,

Today I worked on one of the small copy papers that I made yesterday. I made simple ‘blobs’ by pressing two sheets of paper against each other with fluid paint in between.

This time I started to paint it over with white (with a brayer), and after that I punt some magenta on it, and I dripped black paint on it. And then neocolor II, pencil and comté-crayon.

This was really a five-minute-painting, eventhough I did not mean it to be one. As I am busy right now, I choose very small projects and dont expect too much of them.

And I even think: why bother. Isn’t it stupid to keep on painting, when it is so small and so ‘in a hurry’.

But then I experienced this morning, that despite all busy-ness, I was ‘in the zone’ for a few minutes, just choosing paint in the moment, without thinking, just doing something, deciding what to do next, what colours, all intuitively. Knowing that I had to do it very loosely since I need my time to do my taxes etc.

But I think it is still worthwhile to stay true to this daily process of zooming in in this other ‘world’.

Saying that: I probably will not be painting for a while (maybe accidentally, but not on a structural basis) since my holiday starts!

I wish everybody a wonderful summertime!

bye,

Simone
