“Glimpse” - A Serious Painting (with process video!)

Well, hello there!

It`s been a while! All my attention was on myself and my analog life these past months and I didn't feel like sharing any of it. It was a lot of thinking, experiencing, dealing with the world, feeling. And none of it wanted to be put in words.

But I still produced some art, did some digital painting every now and then, and now that we’re settled in a nice house in the Bulgarian countyside (with 13 dogs ^^) until spring and life moves much quieter and slower, I feel it’s time to share it.

I don’t know exactly when I painted this one, but it must have been a time when I felt much more serious than I do now ^^ I know it might look rather funny and weird to you, but I remember I thought it quite serious back then. Not happy and cute like most of my other work. But I do like it a lot, and I hope it might tell you something.

I almost never think about a painting before I start, I just start and see what wants to come through.
Below in the process video you can see that it changed a lot, that I moved things around, experimented with different objects to fill the canvas and erased a lot. It’s really all intuition and trial and error, sometimes something might look good at first, but it doesn’t feel right to me.

And here you can see the whole creation process in a time lapse (apart from some little embellishments in Affinity Photo after the painting):
