Lesson Learned (My Octopus Teacher)
acrylic/ mixed media on canvas
24 x 24
Two canvases side by side, with only different hues of blue in mind I started painting. No clear idea of a theme, no connection yet, only the joy and the struggles of the process. Half way through the painting an interview with the director of My Octopus Teacher on NPR guided me to an entirely different direction. Rarely I find myself being touched to this extent by a subject. Most of the rest of my journey I was in the flow, as if I were right there under the water with this wise guy. To the contrary of others’ suggestions I insisted not seeing the documentary until I finished the paintings. When I did who could stop the tears? No one. Especially the other of the two paintings, Save The Seaforest, made me believe I was living in this underwater world while creating.
