Into the light – 15-06-17
Enter the gloom! I wanted to delve into the darkness and bring a woman back into the light. With a little help from my friend Look J. Boden for the excellent photography and the top class model that stood for us.

The widow of Aleppo – 18-05-17 (sold)
I always wanted to do a piece after Rembrandt’s Jeremiah lamenting Jerusalem’s destruction and I could not find a more appropiate subject than the horrific destruction of Aleppo.
Roundism – 10-05-17
A pastel variety on the previous drawing ‘Roundism – 02-05-17’ in which I tried to match the found styled forms to a colour scheme that would match them.

Henriëtte Sibie – 21-01-17
In The Netherlands there isn’t a single artist who hasn’t sketched Henriëtte Sibie during a live session.
Nude – 21-12-16 (sold)
Did this one for a Chinese collector who wanted to have a copy the same pastel from 2012 which he acquired as well. The Chinese are into realistic western art nowadays.
Binkie – 21-10-16 (sold)
A commission to do a pet was a big challenge for me. I have never done a dog before.
Nude – live drawing session 2 – 26-03-16
A mixture of impressionism, realism and cubism.
Nude – live drawing session 1 – 26-03-16
More of a styling really but the main theme in my ever search for a new kind of cubism these last years
Nude – 07-03-16
A classic study of the female corpse in pastel. I put the stress on the high lights.
Nude – 04-03-16 (sold)
A pastel that was lingering about in my studio for years until I completed it. I went for a strong purple / yellow contrast. It’s now with a private collector in China.
Pearls – 01-03-16 (sold)
This was commissioned work and the purpose was to capture sensuality and through cubist forms get the round female shapes.

Meyendel – 20-12-15 (sold)
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.
Pieternella – 18-07-15 (sold)
Commissioned work. They wanted a portrait in a cubistic style. I used velours paper so I could make planes very easily with my Schmincke pastels.
Laura – 01-04-15 (sold)
A commission piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I liked doing the blue in the hair at the left top side, showing the blue sky just outside the window.
