SMALL BUT SIGNIFICANT

Oil, 24 x 30 inch, A Small Part in a Big Machinery, © St Germain

During my workshop weekend in Amsterdam some years ago,
I also got to paint in the Sunday service of
“Turning Point”(in Dutch: Het Keerpunt).
When I was prepping for this, it was my sense was that
many in this congregation felt such a small wheel in the big engine
of Amsterdam, that they did not matter, and had no influence at all,
maybe be also overlooked.
After the event 7 people came to me to tell me that they
once painted, and they all had given up on it – sadly, but
it happens a lot.

This is probably my only yellow painting I have ever done
(Not my color, lol), but significant. Also, one of the very few abstracts.
For the analysists. it looks like letters in the blue part ,
but is not intended as such
This may fit the feeling who are watching how the situation
in the Ukraine enfolds, may feel, and wonder
how they can make a difference….

So thankful that we do not have an ice storm like last year!
The only good thing – it was an opportunity for unusual captures:)
