The Starman (Juri Gagarin)

Starman  Mixed media and collage on old paper 25x25cm.

Something a little bit different today..... A painting inspired by an article I read about Juri Gagarin, the first man who really saw the stars !

There are so many courageous people out there to be admired, and I don't mean just the big courageous things like Juri did....

What I really like about sketchbooks is, that there is no fear.... the act of drawing or painting is more a playing than a planing..... The result is then often so different than expected with new ideas coming up while playing !

I have worked the last couple of days in my sketchbook, but I am not really in the rhythm to paint, to write, to post ...... The internet makes a lot of things easier.... but on the same time makes also a lot of work ! I don't know how a lot of you do it ....
Sometimes I have the impression that the action around the painting ( taking a photo, resizing etc etc etc...) is more work than the actual painting :))

 Anyway, this painting is about  what I do at night :) I go and visit my old life !
