The painting “Living in a box” is part of a series, which is a kind of diary.
A work in progress that follows my daily life situation.
Working upon the daily hurdles that I as mother, wife and artist am
going through. There are lot of things to take care of and they suck out my 
creative energy. It is an on going fight and you only manage if you are stubborn 
and really want to stay in front of your canvas. 

Living In A Box
Songtext, by "Living in a box".
Woke up this morning
Closed in on all sides
Nothing doing
I feel resistance
As I open my eyes
Someone's fooling
I've found a way to break
Through this cellophane line
Cause I know what's going on
In my own mind

Am I living in a box
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box

Life goes in circles
Around and around circulation
I sometimes wonder
What's moving underground
I'm escaping
I've found a way ...
I've found a few....

Am I living am I living
Am I living in cardboard box
Am I living in a box
Am I living am I living
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box

Original art work, oil and tempera on canvas. 
Gallery wrapped and stretched on a 2 cm deep stretcher frame, 
the edges are painted. Shipped stretched and ready to hang.
