Hidden Blue Hat - Een vrouw verscholen achter een gigantische, blauwgroene hoed die meer lijkt op een stille kamerplant of een feestelijke schaal vol fruit dan op een gewoon hoofddeksel. Op dit schilderij is het eerste wat je raakt de hoed zelf: breed, zacht geplooid, met een stof die lijkt te glanzen en te kreuken tegelijk. Bovenop die hoed een kleine explosie van citrus en bloemen — twee ronde sinaasappels of mandarijnen, een gele citroen, en rozen en pioenrozen die half open bloeien. Het contrast tussen het koele blauw van de hoed en het warme geel en oranje van het fruit maakt dat de hoed zichzelf presenteert als het hoofdthema: een hoed schilderij dat tegelijk stilleven en portret is. Deze combinatie — hoed met fruit — geeft het werk een speelse twist: het is een vrouw schilderij maar dan met een stillevens-injectie.
Het tweede, even belangrijke element is het deels verborgen gezicht en de hand die de rand van de hoed vasthoudt. Alleen de zachte mond, een stukje kaaklijn en een lichte blos op de lippen zijn zichtbaar; de ogen blijven in schaduw. Die subtiele onthulling doet twee dingen: ze houdt de blik gefocust en nodigt uit tot raden. De huid is geschilderd met smetteloze penseelstreken, bijna porseleinachtig, waartegen de losse, bijna korrelige penseelvoering van de hoed scherp afsteekt. De hand — elegant, slank, met een lichtgekromde pink — voelt je naar de compositie toe, alsof ze de hoed nog even wil inspecteren of misschien juist wil bewaren. In dit portret schilderij is die hand de kleine regisseur die het verborgen gezicht tot personage maakt.
Techniek en sfeer spelen hier een hoofdrol: lagen verf die soms zacht op elkaar liggen, soms met een zichtbare penseelrichting, geven de stof en de bloemen een tastbaarheid. De hoed toont fijne glansaccenten en ingewerkte textuur, alsof er broderie of verfpatronen over de stof zijn gelegd — een knipoog naar zowel couture als oudere stilleventradities. Rondom de figuur een rustige, getinte achtergrond in petrol-blauwgroen die de hoed verder laat zien schitteren; het werk ademt ritme maar blijft ingetogen. Als kunstenaar kies je voor die combinatie omdat het spanning geeft: aanwezigheid zonder te schreeuwen, een hoed schilderij dat tegelijk humor en waardigheid toont.
Kijkend naar de details vallen nog meer beslissingen op: de bloemen zijn niet toevallig gekozen — een roos naast citrus vertelt iets over vergankelijkheid naast frisheid, oud en nieuw.

Very good quality, great colours and excellent craftsmanship. The canvas print is matt and has a fine texture – no comparison to the cheaper canvases that are usually available. We are delighted.
