800th Painting.

The 800th painting

“I know, it’s not noticeable, particularly when one knows that Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) painted only 35 oil on canvas in his entire life (only masterpieces) and that, according to their galleries, K… or W… are making 500 originals (?) a year.
I signed opus #1 (the 20 previous trials didn’t count) on July 13th, 1976, so, it’s not a lot, even when working 340 days a year (OK, I’m also working as manager, accountant, driver, seller, warehouse keeper, in charge of packaging and shipping, PR, webmaster…) but the traditional oil painting process has some imperatives. And it’s definitly (after 33 years) my way.”
