Cubism, impressionism and surrealism forged in art creations
A pastel in the roundism series. I think it might be the first one. Looking back I think I was very risky with the colour scheme but I wanted to enforce the jump-like figure. It’s owned now by a private Chinese collector.
Bettie Page became a sweet taste in my mouth so I rendered her in pastel in reds and greens.
A realistic / impressionistic pastel drawing of estate ‘Oosterbeek’, at The Hague, Netherlands.
I was inspired by Mondriaan’s orange mill when I did this piece. I executed it in quite expressionistic colours.
A study after the glow of satin. The women at The Hague Market looked very surprized when I asked for 5 mtr of her finest pink satin. One does everything for art.
A pastel drawing at estate ‘Reigersbergen’ near the ‘Haagse Bos’ (The Hague Forest) in an impressionistic way.Pastel drawing on Canson Mi-Teintes Touch paper (47 x 62 x 0.1 cm).
An impressionistic pastel of the sun setting through the trees at the Hatertse Vennen (Hatert Meres), Gelderland, Nederland.
Scenery at the Hatert Meres between Nijmegen and Overasselt, Gelderland, Nederland.
The Hatert Meres near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands at their best – marches, meres and trees.
An early very abstract cubist pastel that I like to do. The planes look so scatteered that I decided to call it ‘elementary particles’. It’s in Quatar now bought by a private collector.
Longing for spring makes me post this one. I closely studied Camille Pisarro and saw leaves, blossom transcending into the negative space around it very gradually.
Pastel drawing of the main canal at royal estate ‘De Horsten’, near Wassenaar, Netherlands. It’s owned by a Chinese collector now.
A pastel of the ‘Berg en Dal’ series, an investigation after different styles of doing landscapes.
A view on the hills of Berg en Dal, at Gelderland, Netherlands.
An impressionistic view on Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands and part of a series.
A rather expressionistic approach to one of my favourite spots in The Netherlands – Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen where I grew up.
The second of two pastels on the Japanese Garden at estate ‘Clingendael’ at The Hague, Netherlands. This one is as impressionistic as the first and I’m looking forward to do some more.
An impressionistic view on the Japanese Garden at estate ‘Clingendael’ at The Hague, Netherlands. Opened in spring and autumn only.
This is one of the pastel drawings I made of the Gemeentemuseum at The Hague, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, construed by the famous dutch architect Berlage.
The Gemeentemuseum at The Hague, Netherlands is one of the leading museums in the world with the biggest Mondriaan collection (among others ‘Victory Boogie Woogie’, admired by Barrack Obama at the spot) I felt doing a series turning Berlage’s architecture into cubism. This is one of them.
The second one of the series, turning to abstraction already. Still a lot of atmospheric depth and perspectives.
The first of the ‘Gemeentemuseum series’. This one still is in the recondo mode, investigating what I could do with the subject. I had a vague idea of cubism because there’s a lot in it and the building itself is a complex of cubes. A kind of ode to Mondriaan or would that be too corny?
With this pastel I was unfolding my way of cubism with different means than graphite only. This one is in Scotland in the hands of a private collector.
A pastel drawing of Estate ‘Reigersbergen’ adjacent to the Haagse Bos in quite some impressionistic moves. You can see me walk there very often because I live close by. Because of my artistic activities and my need to keep up my condition I take 10.000 steps per day.
Scenery at the Hatert Meres between Nijmegen and Overasselt, Gelderland, Nederland. It is purchased by a Chinese collector through Artplu, China.
This one is special. Sarah Rose, a pastellist and dear colleague from the U.S. and living in Utah, once took this picture on horseback.
A pastel drawing of a nude in red with only a tiny touch of yellow.
A pastel of the ‘Berg en Dal’ series, an investigation after different styles of doing landscapes.
An impressionistic view on the driving lane of the golf and country club at Wassenaar done in pastel. The road turned into one big light show at the end of autumn.
An experiment in pastel to get flow without blending out with my fingers (in order to avoid ‘muddy segments’ in my pastels).
