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)

cubistic museum pastel drawing

The second one of the series, turning to abstraction already. Still a lot of atmospheric depth and perspectives.

Gemeentemuseum 01 (2014)

cubistic museum pastel drawing

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?

Utah (2014)

Pastel drawing of a humanoid rock formation in a Utah canyon, rendered in textured diagonal strokes.

This pastel drawing ‘Utah (2014)’ depicts a particular canyon in Utah, not Bryce Canyon by the way. Executed in my impressionist hatched strokes style.

Abstract Fruits (2013)

cubistic still life oil painting

A search for capturing a still life in my kind of cubism. For this one I looked closely to Cézanne.

The Hague Golf & Country club (2014)

impressionist treescape pastel drawing

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.
