You know, life as an artist would be much easier if I could stick to any one style. But as it seems this is (for now?) quite impossible. Galleries do not like that. They want to - at least as far as I have learned - basically know what a painter delivers. And no radical changes, please. The clients would be confused. --- ANYHOW, if there's one prevalent theme I'd say it's somewhere close to the world of Fantasy and Science Fiction. No wonder. Ever since I was a boy I loved books with spaceships, aliens, dragons, wizards and above all: protagonists prevailing on a quest in far away lands. --- AND while the fantasy worlds are something I dream up, my spiritual path and my becoming aware of a formerly unseen world is an absolute and by now physical reality to me. This creates another twist. Some might think that my love for storybook adventures muddles my brain and judge my reality by my fantasy. That cannot be helped although - again - it would of course be easier to just go and paint nothing but commercial expressions of spiritual bliss. --- SIGH. --- AS IT IS, different aspects of me are webbed together and quite unpredictably find their way on canvas. It makes my being in the studio an adventure giving me great satisfaction. So here is my latest: Dragon Mountains. I did most of it in one evening and then I suddenly lost courage and did not touch it for a couple of days, going about my daily life, always knowing that there was this half-baked painting some 30 feet away from me, in the studio, just waiting to be finished with great care. --- TODAY I got it right. --- Love to you all - Ben
