Everything else in this canvas is moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole picture is blue, put down with the knife more than the brush, in strokes that go every direction except the one she is lying in. The only warm thing in it is her skin, and the only loud thing is her mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwice the paint runs straight across her, as if the light in the room flickered. That stayed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do you do with it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInspired by a photograph of \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/sharina-van-der-vliet\"\u003eSharina van der Vliet\u003c\/a\u003e (@officialmissnina.01). What the painting makes of it is my doing, not hers.

This canvas was not. It took weeks, and it will hang on a wall for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdering takes a minute. Deciding where it goes is the part that takes nerve, because everyone who walks into that room will see it and decide something about you. That is the real decision, and it is yours. The ones who own these stop noticing the reaction after about a month, and never stop noticing the painting. Hang it anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is one of this canvas and there will never be a second. If you have read this far, you are already picturing the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willem van der Krieken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57578017718612,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/9406\/6004\/files\/sharina-blue-nights.jpg?v=1791878173","url":"https:\/\/paintedidols.com\/products\/sharina-blue-nights","provider":"Painted Idols","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
