Something Different This graphite pencil drawing ‘Friends – 29-07-20 (Sold)’ is something different from my regular themes. My last one was ‘The Venus of The Hague – 23-07-20’. A surrealist work and now back to realism all of a sudden. It’s one of those unexpected yet charming aspects of an artist’s life. You’ll never know what you going to get. Such will keep me on my tows artistically. A New Commission Not often is it that I depict animals with children but this one is a beautiful exception. Normally I have no reason to depict little ones and I surely am not an artist of pets. Then, all of a sudden I received a commission to draw a grandchild of a former student of mine. Unfortunately he passed away some time ago. Consequently it is a kind of tribute to him. His name was Tony and I will always remember him as a gentle and kind person. He was eager to acquire new skills, whether in oil, pastel or graphite pencil. In his grandchild he will live on. Blendi
