It's more or less a 'challenge' to me, painting about 6 vases in only two weeks. Together with ceramic artist Tineke van Gils I am making a so called 'Delftware garniture', 'Delftsblauw kaststel' in Dutch.
The set of vases is part of the upcoming exhibition 'In het straatje van Vermeer', see previous post.
The exhibition is organized in connection to the fact that Vermeer's famous painting 'The little street' is now on display for the first time at the Delft museum Het Prinsenhof.
For this exhibition artist reflect on and are inspired by this famous work.
On the picture below ceramic artist Tineke van Gils is showing the first finished vase.
Recently, these recent paintings were photographed/scanned by studio Buitenhof, Den Haag.

Ornaments and Hundertwasser, ceramics and paint. And some late night work.
A few days ago I had a very important presentation for a commission.
Now I just have to wait for the result, very exciting. And difficult because
the competition is really tough.
But what the result may be, it was already immensely cool to work on the design.
