Background information by abstraction.

After many years painting models and portraits I decided to concentrate me more on the developing of a painting. Starting with no idea I react on what's happening on the canvas. Painting a model or portrait is very obvious. The eyes must be well, the body natural. In these abstract paintings that's not necessary, but I learned that my ambition is to paint clear and tight and that total abstraction is not in me. I needed a fragment of realism.
