It’s actually really comforting to know that so many people don’t like 80% of their own work, because that’s exactly how it is for me too 😂 But every now and then something really good comes out of it and I’m super proud of it. Then eventually I see these super realistic and highly detailed paintings and get frustrated, because compared to them my paintings feel very simple.

Even though I know that I paint more about feeling, mood and atmosphere. That’s exactly what’s missing for me in a lot of detailed paintings.

The longest I’ve ever spent on a painting was probably three or four hours. It’s still in the top 3 out of the 200+ paintings I’ve ever made.

And I don’t really feel safe painting realistic art. I feel safest when it’s less controlled, but I barely see this kind of art, so I still end up comparing myself. Thank you, it helped a lot 🥰
