Indian pot


This little oil on board 17 cm by 8 cm represents an Indian woman with a pot. Tony loved to do these whimsical landscapes. He seldom painted on hardboard, only when he had run out of everything else. He would be rich one day, spend all his money and be poor for the next couple of month. He has exchanged a mural for Porsche, an oil painting for a Suzuki Samurai, a drawing for a bag of groceries, for a meal in a restaurant... He has busked in the street to get 149 franks for a meal in Het Hofke. Yet every drawing he did was done with full intensity.
