After some sketches I started up “Golden Bend”. In this painting the creative answer was basically right in front of me. In my opinion the painting must show a real “Bend” which is more round. And I wanted to translate “Golden”, which actually stands for the expensive reputation and prestige. I translated “Golden” in golden details. So I colored the canal houses on the right side gold. And the water in the canal of “The Golden Bend” must have a combination of gold and blue. In this way the painting tells on a happy way what’s going on. More to come…
