Painting the wall of my apartment


 I remember how my old artfriend, mister Peter Klashorst, Peter Klashorst - Wikipedia,, my he rest in artistic peace, used to paint the walls of his apartment here in Amsterdam and the walls of his hotelrooms back in Bangkok and Pattaya. Many where the nights in tropical Thailand we painted well into the night, Meakong Whiskey and thai beers, cold and condensed to the touch, the floor littered with wrappers of thai food brought along by the many Thai girls visiting his hotel room...always on the phone while we were busy, busy, busy producing whorthless art on the walls of a third world hotel room...i always wondered how he was gonna explain that weird shit to the hotel management ...i seem to remember he often walked out with his toothbrush in the back pocked of his paint stained jeans, his passport, credit cards, bankpass and plane ticked stashed away inside his sweat soaked shirt leaving all his belongings behind, another hotel with as yet unpainted walls on his mind...may he smile down on me from whereever he is residing now, no doubt still painting absolutely worthless crap as he often called it himself...

Photo from a customer


 every so often my customers send me a photo - usually via Facebook - of the painting they bought and what they did with it...always gives me a good feeling..

HATE


                                 Acrylics on wood. 60 cm by 34 cm 

Not really HATE but frustation that the rain and wind have returned to my Amsterdam, not that the city, the country, well the whole of Europe does not need the rain with wildfires running amok on the continent and my TV set...still in my very mind's eye looking out of the window early morning I can't help to feel fustration of not being able to go out to the Anne Frank House and sell my craft...

A whole week of rain and wind forecasted, maybe back to the homeless centres, my daily walks and more time at home...sweet, sweet home they say...
