Cubism, impressionism and surrealism forged in art creations
Last Saturday I came across the outer edge of the Waalsdorpervlakte. By chance I was walking down a small footpath next to the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Nethelands. Suddenly there it was, the motif I was anxiously searching for that day.
My favourite part of the dunes at The Hague, Netherlands in cubistic forms.
I made a first draft in black and white Conté Carrés but it didn’t work. It stood in my studio for over a year pissing me off. Finallly I knew what to do and was ready to divide space through colourful planes.
A more cubistic pastel drawing of Meyendel, following the previous ones. I like this ones better because I dared to put the cubes through the branches so the drawing becomes fragmented.
Meyendel is a park to the north of The Hague, near Wassenaar, part dunes, part forest where I like to come often. It is marked by all kinds of trees and especially the pines I love to draw / paint.
I was attracted to the light shing through the needles of the pine, almost making them transparant and blueish rather than showing sharp contours.

Another pastel drawing I made at Meyendel in the dunes just outside The Hague. Being the first drawing after my graphite pencil drawing ‘Meyendel 2 – 12-06-14’ I wanted something different.
Second drawing of two consecutive drawings of a treescape at Meyendel, near Wassenaar, Netherlands. This the cubistic version.

One of the baroque trees deformed by the southwest wind coming from the North Sea at Meyendel, near Wassenaar, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.
An fairly realistic view on a tree at Meyendel, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, near The Hague in the dunes.
A vista point of view to draw from. Challenging enough because of lack of tonality. I had the bramberry-like bushes in front to get the depth going.
