Preparation

Trying out on little piece of canvas what I can do if I bind my all natural pigments with an acrylic binder. I have a commision to make a big painting on canvas 1.80 x 1.10 cm. Yesterday we spend a lot of time to attach the canvas to a wooden frame. It looks good now, but did imply much more obstacles then I did expect. Now looking forward to start the big work of painting. Yellow and blue have to be the main tones and the ambiance have to be happy and peaceful, generating a good feeling for people spending their time in the holiday home where it is meant to be. While I am working on it we are staying there. The place is wonderful. What I love most is the perfect silence. You hardly see any human presence around. The view is far and wide. It is so totally calming and deeply relaxing to be here. It does help to clear out that living on this island permanently might be really good. I have spend a lot of time weighing all the pros and cons and searching for the most perfect house to live which should meet both Stefan's and my needs. We did not find that house till now. But even whithout that being here is good.
