"It happened so that I did not work for a long time. When I do not draw for a long time, it is difficult for me to start working, it takes a lot of effort to make up for lost time and get back into bed. This picture was one of the first after this pause, I drew the landscape very spontaneously and I did not know what I was drawing in the foreground, I felt very empty. It finally came out and I think it's exactly the lost time that exhausted me."
