This morning I picked my good friend Marina!
Her inspiration, was taken on a ferry ride in Istanbul and she shared with it: “So, this is the picture of a typical day crossing the Bosphorus, having, as always, a joy in my eyes and feeling so lucky, so in love and so happy to be in Istanbul. I think I will never get bored, nor will I feel like a routine crossing these waters looking at the incredible landscape of this city that surprisingly became my home.”
In the atelier I unpacked the delivery which arrived yesterday and I found the new paper I had ordered! Never painted on it, I decided, to sketch Marina on the “normal” one, but put the new one next to it and try painting in parallel for a while, to understand the difference.
And again, it happened! Suddenly she was also on the second paper – and there with exactly this joy in her eyes, she described and which I somehow could not manage to move into the “real” painting of the day. This was the moment, when I understood, they belong together, yet, two separate paintings, each able to speak for itself.
So I allowed this one, to have also something sad or worried and maybe exhausted … and the EXIT claimed its existence!
