In my studio constantly there are some scattered portraits, work in progress. Almost always commissioned portraits. Paintings to be delivered. Persons on canvases who come along with me for a short period, patiently waiting to be delivered. And the fact that they have to wait is good. I never can say immediately after finishing a portrait whether the painting is quite right. First I must try to erase the model from my memory and forget the image. Only then with a “new look” I can see whether it is good or not. It is beneficial to start a new portrait and thus release the previous. Sometimes, after a few weeks I suddenly see a strange detail or a disturbing brushstroke. I still have the opportunity to do the final touch. This process seems excessive but this treat is fundamental. Soon I will deliver the portraits on the photograph and I’ll be preparing the next series.
