Leidschendam – 21-04-19​

Today I went to Amsterdam to see Rembrandt’s etchings and on my way how I stopped in good ol’ Leidschendam at the Sluisjes where I quickly sketched this view with ‘De Peperbus’ (an old church) in the background.

Zierikzee – 16-04-19

The first great day of Spring has arrived and my mood for landscape painting and drawing still is growing.

Veere – 04-04-19

Last weekend I was walking through Veere at Zeeland, Netherlands, a little pittoresque town. I returned to my car when I saw the sign ‘city wall tour’ and I decided to take that one and then, when I climbed onto them, I saw this great composition that reminded me of Caravaggio’s ‘Descent from the cross’, a perfect staircase composition – triangles within one big triangle.

The artist and his model – 31-03-19

This drawing is a protest and and prestudy altogether. The latter for the sake of a bigger painting and the first because I need to be more clear about nudity once again.

Roundism – 26-03-19

The sheets on my duvet on which my model lay show nice checkered patterns. Her body contrasted them quite nicely and I decided to exploit this to the max.

Olympia – 22-03-19

Before last Tuesday’s model session I thought of a great pose I instructed to my model.

A day at the beach – 16-03-19 (sold)

This drawing is to celebrate human achievements and imagination in particular. To see one thing in another is something very real, surreal and metaphysical altogether.

Voorschoten – 11-03-19

Last year I was walking through sunny Voorschoten, a town in the north to where I live.
