Drawings
Roundism – 14-08-20
In this one I started hatching up the paper with diagonal strokes like always when the motif is very dark. I did not wanted to rub them out like I am use to but quite like the hatched impression and it reminded me to the beginning of my cubist works like in ‘Round Cubism – 14-08-14’.
Roundism – 10-08-20
Sometimes the body position defines the style of rendering. That is why this drawing came with triangles and diagonals because of the model’s triangular position.
Roundism – 07-08-20
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 07-08-20’ looks like an elaborate celtic knot. Can you unravel it and discover the secret of a woman?
Batenburg – 02-08-20
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Batenburg – 02-08-20’ depicts a place not far away from were I was born. A bit of beauty in impressionist hatched strokes.
Friends – 29-07-20 (sold)
Not often is it that I depict animals with children but this one is a beautiful exception
The Venus of The Hague – 23-07-20
Being a deep sea fish a coelacanth hardly ever come face to face with a white shark way up high but sometimes it does. If so, what would you expect to happen.
The Venus of The Hague – 11-07-20
This one is a variation on a previous drawing ‘The Venus of The Hague – 29-05-20’ but then constructed out of basic geometric forms only: the circle, cube and triangle.
The Venus of The Hague – 09-07-20
Animals kept crawling in so it was inevitable to incorporate them into these series. The first one I saw was a lioness in her thight and second the hares in her buttocs.
The Venus of The Hague – 24-06-20
Next move on my Venus trail. I decided to do another surrealist one or is it? I put in some of my earlier themes like ‘singarity’, ‘the golden ratio’ and combine them with ‘the collapse of the wave function’.
The Venus of The Hague – 18-06-20
A version in straight lines, quite angular was bound to appear in my mind after the (sur)realistic one. So there you have it.

Today’s my birthday and I thought I’d offer you something different: a special treat.
The Venus of The Hague – 29-05-20
This one is one step further abstracted than my previous drawing ‘The Venus of The Hague – 26-05-20’.
The Venus of The Hague – 26-05-20
Based on my previous drawing ‘The Venus of The Hague – 23-05-20’, preceded by version ’18-05-20’, I turned up the abstraction one gear further.
The Venus of The Hague – 23-05-20 (sold)
Based on my previous drawing ‘The Venus of The Hague – 18-05-20’ I went further in abstracting body shapes after my roundism style but still referring to the play of light and dark in the original.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Venus of The Hague – 18-05-20 (Sold)’ takes me back to model sketching. A bit of impressionism in hatched strokes.
Estate ‘Reigersbergen’ – 16-05-20
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Estate ‘Reigersbergen’ – 16-05-20’ is a bit of impression, executed in my hatched strokes style.
Model session – 14-05-20
These Corona days show little or no model sessions at all. However my model and I felt confident to do a new session after a long time, taking all precautions.
Roundism – 27-04-20
The next drawing in my solarized roundism series. It forms a transition from my previous abstracted cubist geometry towards a crossover to realism and surrealism. Like in previous ones I inverted some of the tonal values whereas in other parts they are kept realistic.
Beek – 24-04-20
Sometimes cementeries can be fun, especially when they are old and situated near old churches and trees in the midst of Beek, Gelderland, Netherlands.
Clara – 24-04-20
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Clara – 25-04-20’ is a bit of solarisation. Beautiful Instagram model Clara was the inspirational source.
Marlot – 11-04-20

Bergen – 10-04-20
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Bergen – 10-04-20 is a bit of impressionism. I was struck by the diagonal light beams creating beautiful shadows.
Valkenlaagte – 09-04-20
On my extensive trips I sometimes come across specific spots of beauty and in this case not accidentally. I saw a great mansion ‘for sale’ at the Valkenlaagte and I am sure I cannot buy it on short notice.
Oosterbeek – 08-04-20
The second one of Oosterbeek this week and I chose a specific spot in the park where there is a bend in brook running through it.
Oosterbeek – 07-04-20
Oosterbeek – 07-04-20
I always find it difficult to draw an impressionistic blossom tree without falling back to depict branches and the blossom in a rather symbolic or linear way.
Voorlinden – 06-04-20
A rather quick sketch of the manor ‘Voorlinden’ at Wassenaar, Netherlands, in which I skipped the hatched strokes and concentrated on the roundish shapes in the trees.
Voorlinden – 05-04-20
In these exceptional days of viral mayhem no one expected at the beginning of this year all of a sudden a first beautiful warm day in Spring arrived in The Netherlands.
Roundism – 04-04-20
This is my third solarized drawing I did since a long time and represents my regular model I know for years.
Roundism – 31-03-20 (sold)
In my last drawing ‘Roundism – 29-03-20’ I employed the technique of solarisation again. It turned out to be a rather realistic one and so I decided to do another one more abstract.
