Voorburg – 12-05-19
There is this specific spot in Voorburg at the beginning of the Herenstraat where it is particulary beautiful.
Drawings
Haagse Bos – 10-05-19
When I came back from Clingendael I took my favorite way back home through ‘estate Reigersbergen’.
Voorburg – 09-05-19 (sold)
In springtime Voorburg is a wonderful place to be. The Old Church is catching light and the big ol’ tree in front of it is shattering the light on top of the church roof.
Veere – 08-05-19
I was walking through Veere, Zeeland, Netherlands where I visited the harbour first.
Laren – 30-04-19
When I Laren near the Singer Laren Museum I saw a couple of horses and perhaps they were the same couple as drawn by me in ‘hommage to a dead horse’ last year.
Singer Laren – 29-04-19
Sunday 28th of April I went to Museum Singer Laren to see a great exhibition on German expressionists like the painters of Die Brücke and Der Blauwe Reiter.
Berg en Dal – 28-04-19
I planned this study to be completed under an hour. I think I improve. The goal is to prepare me for the outdoor season to come.
Amsterdam – Rijksmuseum – 27-04-19 (sold)
I went to visit the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum with my parents to see the exhibition ‘Alle Rembrandts’: All Rembrandt sketches and etchings, well most of them anyway.
Laakmolen – 26-04-19
The Laakmolen is an ancient mill already painted by Vincent van Gogh and it is hidden from plain sight nowadays.
Clingendael – 25-04-19
A second of a new series of small drawings depicting estate ‘Clingendael’ at The Hague, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.
Clingendael – 24-04-19
Wednesday (daytime) is my ‘day off’. Teaching art class is due in the evening and I have lots of time to go outdoors now spring has arrived. Estate ‘Clingendael’ is just around the corner to where I live here in The Hague and there i saw two swans swimming by.
Kethel – 22-04-19 (sold)
I was heading for Julia Filament’s exhibition on Katendrecht when I decided to take a detour through Kethel, a small encapsulated village in the north of Schiedam, near Rotterdam.
Leidschendam – 21-04-19
Today I went to Amsterdam to see Rembrandt’s etchings and on my way how I stopped in good ol’ Leidschendam at the Sluisjes where I quickly sketched this view with ‘De Peperbus’ (an old church) in the background.
Zierikzee – 16-04-19
The first great day of Spring has arrived and my mood for landscape painting and drawing still is growing.
Leidschendam – 11-04-19 (sold)
I am in a spring kind of mood and since my last drawing I see more blossoms although real fine weather is only due for next week.
Vossendijk – 09-04-19 (sold)
The Vossendijk is the place where I was born, situated in Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands.
Veere – 04-04-19
Last weekend I was walking through Veere at Zeeland, Netherlands, a little pittoresque town. I returned to my car when I saw the sign ‘city wall tour’ and I decided to take that one and then, when I climbed onto them, I saw this great composition that reminded me of Caravaggio’s ‘Descent from the cross’, a perfect staircase composition – triangles within one big triangle.
The artist and his model – 31-03-19
This drawing is a protest and and prestudy altogether. The latter for the sake of a bigger painting and the first because I need to be more clear about nudity once again.
Roundism – 26-03-19
The sheets on my duvet on which my model lay show nice checkered patterns. Her body contrasted them quite nicely and I decided to exploit this to the max.
A day at the beach – 16-03-19
This drawing is to celebrate human achievements and imagination in particular. To see one thing in another is something very real, surreal and metaphysical altogether.
Voorschoten – 11-03-19
Last year I was walking through sunny Voorschoten, a town in the north to where I live. I saw an attractive cityscape appearing in one of the streets, took a picture and decided to do this one some days ago, not knowing yet how to execute it in graphite pencil. The trees and the top part of the drawing directed me towards my personal style roundism but the low part of the drawing became another story.
The artist and his model – 22-02-19 (sold)
This drawing is to celebrate the holy bond between the artist and his model.
5 bestialities – 19-02-19
After my last drawing ’11 bestialities – 09-02-19’ I got the hang of it and decided to do once more.
11 bestial qualities – 09-02-19
One thing in another. I try to see it all the time. Sometimes I fail, another time I see more clearly.
The Peace Palace at The Hague – 04-02-19
The reference picture I used I took last year at the brink of spring.
Mira (2019) (sold)
Mira (2019) (sold) A commission for a drawing of a young woman that I already painted 9 years ago. Then a teenager, now a young woman and an excellent way
Isis – 25-01-19
Some time ago I saw underwater excavation pictures of Heracleion, an ancient Egyptian city submerged.
Roundism – 16-01-19
Last August international dancer and model Julia Gómez Avilés came over to my studio where we, together with fellow artist Julia Filement, had a wonderful live session.
One thing in another – 05-01-19
In my egyptian series I try to excavate treasures from the past.
Bastet – 01-01-19
My Egyptian series is an addition to my ‘j’accuse’ painting ‘The Revelation of Bettie Page’. My New Year’s resolution for this year: I dare all algorithms of social media scanning the internet for nipples like the Matrix’s sentinels for Neo.
