Pastels

Scenery at the Hatert Meres between Nijmegen and Overasselt, Gelderland, Nederland.
Hatert Meres (Hatertse Vennen) 07 (2014) (sold)
The Hatert Meres near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands at their best – marches, meres and trees.
Elementary Particles (2014) (sold)
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.
Flowering Trees (2014) (sold)
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.
Royal Estate ‘De Horsten’ (2014) (sold)
Pastel drawing of the main canal at royal estate ‘De Horsten’, near Wassenaar, Netherlands. It’s owned by a Chinese collector now.
Berg en Dal 07 (2014) (sold)
A pastel of the ‘Berg en Dal’ series, an investigation after different styles of doing landscapes.
Berg en Dal 06 (2014) (sold)
A view on the hills of Berg en Dal, at Gelderland, Netherlands.
Berg en Dal 05 (2014) (sold)
An impressionistic view on Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands and part of a series.
Berg en Dal 03 (2014) (sold)
A rather expressionistic approach to one of my favourite spots in The Netherlands – Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen where I grew up.
The Japanese garden 2 (2014)
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.
The Japanese garden 1 (2014)
An impressionistic view on the Japanese Garden at estate ‘Clingendael’ at The Hague, Netherlands. Opened in spring and autumn only.
Gemeentemuseum 05 (2014)
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.
Gemeentemuseum 03 (2014)
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.
Gemeentemuseum 02 (2014)
The second one of the series, turning to abstraction already. Still a lot of atmospheric depth and perspectives.
Gemeentemuseum 01 (2014)
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?
Cubistic Nude 07 (2014) (sold)
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.
Estate ‘Reigersbergen’ 01 (2014)
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.
Hatert Meres (Hatertse Vennen) 06 (2014) (sold)
Scenery at the Hatert Meres between Nijmegen and Overasselt, Gelderland, Nederland. It is purchased by a Chinese collector through Artplu, China.
Utah (2014)
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.
Nude 15 (2014) (sold)
A pastel drawing of a nude in red with only a tiny touch of yellow.
Berg en Dal 01 (2014) (sold)
A pastel of the ‘Berg en Dal’ series, an investigation after different styles of doing landscapes.
The Hague Golf & Country club (2014)
This pastel drawing ‘The Hague Golf & Country Club (2014)’ is my attempt to equal skills with those of Pissarro. The grandmaster in depicting foliage.one big light show at the end of autumn.
Splash (2013)
An experiment in pastel to get flow without blending out with my fingers (in order to avoid ‘muddy segments’ in my pastels).
Nude couple (2013) (sold)
A quick sketch of an old picture I once found that I quickly sold to one of my students.
Hatert Meres (Haterse Vennen) 05 (2013) (sold)
An expressionistic way to depict the Hatert Meres near Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Hatert Meres (Hatertse Vennen) 04 (2014)
Trees and reflections at the Hatert Meres, Gelderland, Netherlands. I liked using purples and pinks in this one.
Adam & Eve – 08-05-13 (sold)
Found a pastel in the ‘garbage’ map of pastels that I found to be not very bad after all. Takes me back a couple of years when I did a lot of hatching.
Pastel Study 04 (2013)
A classic pastel study of a classic sort of model pose. I liked the diagonals.
Cubistic nude (06) (2013)
Just like ‘Cubistic nude – 04 (2013)’ this one is featured in a daily dutch television soap although scaled down too small. I liked doing some strong stuff through a complementary mix purple / yellow.
