It was her look. Direct, sure of itself, not asking anything of me.

There is no gold in oil paint. Whatever is behind her is a pile of decisions pretending to be something it cannot be, and it took considerably longer than she did.

Days at a time over several weeks, with long gaps of nothing. No sketch, no plan. I do not know what a canvas will be when I start, which is also why nothing can go wrong here.

It stopped when I was finished with it. Whether it is finished is a different question and I cannot answer it.

What do you do with it?

About this work

Original oil painting on stretched canvas. Signed, one of one. This is a unique work, not a print and not an edition.

From Saved, a series of oil portraits of women whose own image is their work. Second of two canvases of Deelee.

Painted in my studio in Boekel, the Netherlands. Ships insured from the Netherlands. Certificate of authenticity included.

Inspired by a photograph of Dutch Deelee.
