In my small county we have a lake called Balaton. It is officially (scientifically) not even a lake because it is too shallow. But: for us it is so precious like ocean for others. There is a much smaller corner by the lake just a few kilometers from Balatonszemes, I don't even know the name of it. It is just a small waterside and full of life. I mean really full of life, birds and bugs and grasses and trees, and the noise of the whole world. This painting is born from my love of this small piece of world.
There is a ceramic frog in my garden. He is fairly ugly. He is so ugly that after a while he became nice. He just sits on a bigger rock and waits for the miracle. No princess, yet. Not even a glance from a real-life frog...
When I order lemonade at a hip bar, it never comes without some lovely decor. Because lemonade is just too simple. But... no one ever invented red marble decor on a mirror plate. How is that? I would be so amazed that I would gaze those reflections, I would even forget that the glass is... empty.
"OK, let's paint a warming up" I said to myself. Painting apple slices - it must be a warming up. Till... I fall in love the yellow light that was reflected on the slices.
Unbelievingly simple. Or? Is it really simple?
I haven't find an answer. It might be love. Yellow Light Love.
I am delighted by reflections. There are times when I spend long minutes besides huge glass windows, mainly office buildings or hotels. They might think I longing to go inside when sometimes I look into someone's eye... But the truth is that the distorted reflection of the opposite building or a curly tree makes me wonder. So reflection combined with strong colors. That was the base of this painting.
