When I looked at the hand streched out on the bed I immedately knew what to do.

Last Sunday I had another photo shoot and drawing session with my favorite odel and after I saw back the photos there was only one plausible conclusion: There comes a time when you look at a naked woman and discover new things.

I am on track doing some new nudes with my favorite model of Indian descendance.

This depiction of Maassluis, a town near Rotterdam towards the North Sea, is somehow impressionism meets roundism.

This time I made Bettie somehow rectangular, circular and squareish, matching her perfect female forms to simplifyed geometric shapes, not loosing a hint of impressionistic feel of realism.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Bettie Page – 28-08-17’ is a surrealist one. Finally I got to depict this lovely pin-up once more.

A commissioned piece I did for someone who loved my roundism style. She likes to do holiday trips with their favorite car, a vintage Porsche Carrera.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Delft – 19-08-17 (Sold)’ is a surrealist one. One time I was finding myself steering my bike to Delft.

A second commission for the man in the title of the work. This one is done in the style from the (my) past when I liked to combine angular planes and hatched strokes.

A couple of weeks ago I came across the Tour of Rijswijk when I was on my way to Delft.

Some time ago I saw a cloud that perfectly looked like a baby elephant.

A continuation of the same image also used for the pastel drawing ‘Into the light – 15-06-17’.

A view on the Sint Janskerk from Museum Gouda at Gouda, Zuid-Holand, Netherlands.

Berlage’s kiosk (at The Hague) – 22-06-17 (sold)
The principles of singularity as defined visually by me, put on paper with regard to a view on the harbour of Vlaardingen, a town near Rotterdam, Netherlands.

In this graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism (Singularity) – 01-06-17’ I tried to work out my artistic understanding of singularity.

During my lessons as a teacher I stell my students there is no end to perfection and one never can tell when a painting or drawing is finished.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Ascension – 24-05-17’ is a special one. Initially I had a another title in mind: ‘God is loose’ but ‘Ascension’ describes it better.

These times call for a poet that says it all.

This one represents Darja Collin, fomer wife of J. Slauerhoff, a great dutch poet and writer of the 1930s.
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 02-05-17’ is pure geometric of nature. I was fascinated by the squares and round forms I detected in the body.

Part of the roundism series, in which I wanted to keep a big part of the body open and indicate and style only a portion of the shades.

I was at ‘Rumour in de Stad’ at the Gemeentemuseum where I saw Breinter, Israëls, among others and this drawing is derived from a photograph Breitner took more than a century ago.

American band ‘The Shins’ performed at music temple ‘Paradiso’ at Amsterdam last 30th March 2017.

I was invited for a harpsichord concert at the home of one of my students.

Situated in the heart of The Hague (Den Haag) next to the Tweede Kamer (dutch Parliament). I wanted to break up the scene into circles, planes and triangles.

Situated at Rotterdam, Delftshaven is the old harbour entree for the city of Delft, at the north of Rotterdam. I wanted to do a drawing full of atmosperic depth but still with a bit of cubist styling in it.

In this one I abstracted the forms to the max. That was quite easy because the body looked almost chiseled.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Hague – 19-03-17’ offers a cubist view on a specific bridge. It’s the one over the Hooigracht in The Hague, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.
