An Elaboration of a Screw-up Fox the Fox -04-05-22 is an elaboration of a graphite pencil drawing Nude – 04-10-15 I made years ago. After my last oil painting Wag the Dog – 24-04-22 I thought I’d do another surrealist theme. See if I could do this one in one week and so I did. Sadly enough I kind of destroyed that drawing by overspraying it. At that time I was using acrylic varnish as an alternative for regular charcoal and graphite fixative. The result was that the layer sprayed on top of the drawing soon started to become yellowish. Consequently I never put it up for sale. Redoing this one kept lingering in my mind though. This oil is an attempt to shuffle shame from that uncanny spraying experiment under the carpet. Troubles Were Bound Even though the set-up went swift soon I found myself in trouble. You see, last Saturday 29th April I went to the Prinsenhof at Delft. A friend of mine pointed me to an ongoing exhibition of the works of Bram Bogart. He and Jan Sluijter
