Glass vase (2016)

Realistic vase oil painting

A quick painting I made the morning before afternoon’s workshop ‘painting glass’.

papaya (2008) (sold)

Surrealist still life oil painting

A still life in which I tried to combine cubism and realism in such respect that the cubistic papaya would be looking realistic as well.

Flames (2007)

Surrealistic still life oil painting

A surreastic oil painting with an ashtray and flowers as cigars. I liked painting the texture of fire so I had to come up with a dark negative space to sett off the light sufficiently.

Strelizia (2007)

Realistic still life oil painting

In my ever struggle with still lifes I wanted to do a styled flower like a Strelizia and put it in a granate shell my grandfather retrieved from a German Flak position at Nijmegen during W.W. II and light it with a maclite mini torch from within the shell.

Sub rosa (2007) (sold)

surrealistic still life oil painting

Twice it came back to me because of the partner of the purchaser didn’t agree with the vibrator. The third time was a charm.

Hot tin roof (2005)

Impressionistic interior oil painting

A study after sunlight hitting a still life with extreme backlight, with hints of impressionism.

Etude (2005)

Realistic still life oil painting

A quick study. I liked doing something simple and I arranged the objects in a triangular position. With only some faint color usage. I guess I was learning the trade of oil painting still, seeing this one after all these years.
