I work “intuitively”. In my case that means that I work on quite a few paintings at the same time and continue which each of them only when my bowels feel really sure about what to do with them. Some paintings are waiting already two years for that moment. So I am glad I declared two paintings “finished” yesterday. (“Art is never finished, only abandoned.” – the quote is attributed to both Leonardo and Picasso, without any proof that any of them ever said so), signed them and sprayed them with varnish.

One I called On Being Sane in Insane Places (after the Rosenhan experiment). I like it a lot, my persistent experimenting with less conventional painting tools (credit cards, rags, nails, cleaning brushes, beer caps) seems to pay off. The other one, Living Room, is more restrained and I don’t like it so much. But I would love to sell it. Anybody?

Working on my Pedestrian Project. After several preparatory experiments and a few false starts I made about 180 pictures last week of the pedestrian signs in Stromovka Park. But what to do with them now?

There has been a long silence on this blog. For several reasons: no studio space, my day job at the Ateliér radostné tvorby, the Inventura Art Workshop (including the Jamming project in cooperation with Mirek Kaufman), graphic design work and other activities. Now I have a new studio and hopefully more time to paint. The results will be published on this blog.
