  1. hey classmate judy...

    i guess the moment you took my picture could resemble the same awkwardness i feel looking at this painting. the feeling of withdraw against a wall.

    i think you must have felt in return, the moment you took this picture, me being unease d.

    you captured this moment of withdraw very well in this painting!!!

    i don't know if it is important for me to recognize myself or if i could recognize you taking it (?) still it becomes personal for me because it involves a depiction of me, knowing how this existed. i can't detach these two from each-other.

    that makes me a -even more- subjective viewer.

    and i think, the awareness of you taking what you need to capture is important for the development in your paintings. if it is a directed snapshot, and if that moment will make the importance of your aim to be inspired to portrait 'literately' or do you want to take it further in your own feeling of that moment you captured what was needed for you?

    i just wonder classmate judy...

    it's a great painting-work you did!!! i love the idea and your determent goal to produce what you've captured...
    petje af voor jou!

  2. Ha Nathalie, thank you for your comment, I found out in between taking a snapshot and painting and all the live moments and thoughts in between, there is a lot of good useful time. I like to capture for sure. But not as a point but as a start. It is not about a my own feeling 'sec', but it is about a relationship between classmates (you) and me in group, and about painter (for those painting moments at least) and "object", and with your response, I like the fact you are not object but subject or artist too. something like that!

  3. aha
    but
    then still...
    the relationship between classmates and you in a group...
    where do you see that back in the single portrait painting?
    how can i relate back to the objectiveness the facts to this relationship.
    how did you -can you- tell this relationship?
    by capturing the group individually and painting it?

  4. No, not in the painting, that is only the relation to each classmate and me, at a certain time, not in a deep conversation way, not in a real hug, but in a snapshot kind of way. The group relation is added not in the seperate paintings of the group (what is a group) but in the final work: blogging the pictures of the paintings all at once, as a classmate and without myself (i am the blogger) a group has a certain dynamic, it needs a dynamic medium, I found that in -the power of- posting...and -the power of - comments.
