About This Work
Another Bit of Surrealism This graphite pencil drawing ‘Counting Sheep – 26-05-25’ is my first surrealist work after quite some time. One time they were floating in the sky. Or should I say only hovering a couple of feet above the grass? For a short time there was a momentary lapse of gravity. It almost seemed as if the sheep themselves didn’t even take notice of this memorable fact. Flying High in a Friendly Sky It must have been on one of my extensive trips during the Corona pandemic I encountered this group of sheep. Somewhere about Leidschendam I thought. A strange period it was for us all, feeling enclosed in our homes for too long. Made me want to drift away myself. Luckily there wasn’t a complete lockdown so we could wander outside and that was my rescue. Without the possibility to teach as a break from painting in my studio I could visit the countryside. At least that was something I looked forward to each day. Those were the days of walking 10,000 steps and biking across The Hague. During that period animals looked strangely innocent and one with nature. That must be the reason they can fly out of pure enlightenment. Sheep Have More Fun Sheep are fun beings and are all around us in every countryside outside cities in The Netherlands. They can create magic bonds with the viewer. They even show much more than it lets on. Such is visbible in an earlier drawing, called ‘Sheep Have More Fun – 23-07-21’. So there you have it. Sheep are nothing but boring and you can learn a lot from them. Makes you want to fly and hover above the grass too. Wouldn’t that be something: levitation at its best?
