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?

Estate ‘Reigersbergen’ 01 (2014)

Pastel drawing of a tree in a wooded area near Haagse Bos, rendered in expressive colors and dynamic strokes.

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.

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.

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.

Splash (2013)

Surrealistic nude pastel drawing

An experiment in pastel to get flow without blending out with my fingers (in order to avoid ‘muddy segments’ in my pastels).
