A kind of red Painting

The inspiration for my first painting from the Return of Peter Pan series was my son, Lesiu. He forced me to paint his three cuddly toys. It was the last month of our life in the Netherlands. He very much bagged me to do it. I remembered having some dilemma with the background. I didn't want to make a kitschy -sweetly painting. The toys had to be realistic, very much real, but the composition and the plan had to be original and had to have a artistic thought out. First I worked on the composition, then I sketched the Piglet, tiger and the little bear, after that I made the background. Because the Piglet is very much pink, almost the same as the little chair, and she is also the most dominated character (she is huge compares to the rest) I wanted to match the colour of the background with the colour scheme of her. Pallet knife, water, scraping of and lots of paints - it was the way which the background for "For Lesio Orzesiu" was born. The next paintings were created in Lyalls Cottage, in Dunchideock. It was a real winter, the fire was buzzing in the wood burner, Lesiu started to learn how to paint, and I was painting puppets, my and these of my children. Very colourful characters - rebellious, playful, full of live and ideas for survival. Each painting is telling a story. All the bear, clowns, piglet etc, I am painting, are alive, they have their characters, they have their preferences, sympathies and antipathies. This is not only in my own imagination. Their world really exists. They opened the gate into it, I am just a medium. I would say, that being able to transmit myself into the worlds of the puppets and than being able to create the paintings brings incredible joy and fun. It is a world full of fantasy, secretes, imagination and thoughts. The world of the humans is often full of suffering, villainy and tragedies. The characters from my paintings know about it, they are trying to tell the adults to be less arrogant and serious and more humble and imaginary. They are screaming: Don't take yourself so damned seriously, it provokes only disasters ! Here are two good friends Mike and Kasia are thinking about their good friend Biggetje, who left them a few months ago. They are trying to console each other with a big hug. The two little puppets are their toys.
