盖 西 纳 嘎 在 太 空 – 20-10-21
Who would have ever though of Geesje Kwak in Space? Of course she already was fond of higher spheres.
Reclining Nude – 19-09-21
This reclining nude is completed two days after the last model session I held at my studio. Being the first drawing I completed after July’s session means last month’s drawing has not been completed yet. This one was relatively easy though.
Geesje Kwak – 04-09-21
My previous graphite pencil drawing ‘Geesje Kwak – 25-08-21’ was executed in my hatched strokes style and I kinda like it. Sometimes you just feel like doing this or that but in this particular case I understand better why.

Model Session – 28-07-21
Together with a student I had a lovely model session at the Binckhorst in The Hague. She invited me to come to her studio because she had a friend who wanted to sit for us. Actually the same sofa was used as for the previous model session.
26th July 2021 – The Story of the Blue Velvet Jacket
My oil painting Geesje Kwak (2021) was released a couple of weeks ago and some were wondering where I got the idea of the blue jacket from. My mother Marijke Akkers-Kersten makes all my jackets and this one is an exceptional beautiful blue velvet one.
Sheep Have More Fun – 23-07-21
Sheep have more fun or do they? It so happened that my dear friend, poet and photographer Alexis de Roode went for a little stroll in nature.
