Title: the long day
Technique: Oilpainting on paper
Format: 42x59cm
Production: 2014, in progress
The long day is an oil painting on paper. The base is a charcoal nude drawing. I have tried to portray one of those days, when life is totally exhausting, where you do not have anymore strength left to stand upright. It is a situation where the physical exhaustion is stronger than your mental awareness, and you do not bother about clothes, putting out lights, or taking notice or considering issues, you just fall asleep.
