After a very nice afternoon when I opened my new exhibition I feel relieved, happy, proud and… sad. Why is that? I feel like some paintings are still close to myself, I’ve only just finished them. And now I’m already leaving them alone in a strange place like a hotel…

Part of my paintings is at Restaurant van Schaik, which is pretty close to our home. The other part though, is much further away! Maybe I’m a bit tired thus exaggerating… It feels just EMPTY!

There is just one thing I want: take some rest. And after that well earned rest… I will paint again!
