The Blue Yonder

This is one of the very few paintings that colour was used.
The positive section was done with silver leaf, but the background was done with gold leaf.
The size of the canvas is 100*81cm.
The title of the picture is "The Blue Yonder". It reminds me of the time when I used to hike though the mountains of South Africa. Standing on top of a mountain and looking out over the scene below. The feeling of being on top of the world is enough to make one feel like disrobing and chilling out.

Oh Pity Mankind


This painting is the best I have done, am I have to admit that I´m deeply sorry that it has been sold. This painting represents the fact that our world is no longer the same as it was. Just like the period before the first world war was so different, so today is dramatically different than before September 11.
Who knows maybe one day I´ll buy it back?!
This was painted with far too much emotion to have been sold, this was the day that the world changed. That is why the title is called "Oh Pity Mankind"
