After overcoming various hiccups of winter and spring 2024/2025, I've finally settled into my new studio!
This included catching up on some things. In April I came across a large bag full of unfinished paper works that I had collected from the various "corners" of my old studio during the move in the winter of 2024 and simply packed away.

There was a lot of blue in that pile. I remember one day after working on a large blue painting, I had so much paint left, that I just grabbed a bunch of sheets and made a lot of first layers.

I have to admit, it was difficult to finish at least some of them. After all that time, I'd lost connection a bit. Plus, the first few layers were very dynamic, with lots of color and texture, so it wasn't easy to continue "composing" on that basis. But sometimes, when a painting has given you a tough time, you're rewarded with something truly special...

My three "TOUGH TIMES" - this is No. 2.
