Colour Beginnings

When painting on a grid, which is a form of a very open painting ground, I was captivated by the fresh, process-oriented image of the paint that became visible at the back.

The name is 'borrowed' from the English painter William Turner. His watercolor sketches, often colour studies and sketches for oil paintings, are astonishingly abstract and ethereal; very contemporary in my eyes. They are called Colour Beginning. The similarity in character made me give that name to these works. I take that title literally here. As if somewhere a moment exists where colour begins.
