Enzie, Claudemir an Thomasin, thanks for the kind feedback!
Ilaria, special thanks for taking the time to give such an interesting and extended feedback: ! I've got the feeling that I was following a script painting my portraits. I want to be more free from copying en go for some expressionisme. I try to inspire meself with the paintings of Ann Gale, Thomasin Dewhurst, Rik Wouters and Oscar Kokoschka. I dont really know what I'm doing, the only guidance I take is the contradiction to 'deforming the face by color and brushwork, without loosing the form'. I know, I know...
