Ascension – 24-05-17

These times call for a poet that says it all.

Bettie Page – 24-02-17

Another drawing by me of Bettie Page returning to surrealism again. After scrutinizing her features and estimating what her character would have been like I came to an inescapable conclusion. Eggs, rabbits, dogs and snakes could be derived from her and were essential for her expression.

The Ooij polder – 27-06-16 (sold)
