Model session 2 @ Rotterdam – 19-11-17
Short positions at live model sketching took me back to reinvent my way rendering human bodies and together with my new found Pastelmat by Clairefontaine I was able to experiment with new ways.

Nieuwe Veenmolen – 18-11-17
Roundism – 11-11-17 (sold)
Working again with my favourite model I took bodyscapes of her and saw limbs running back on the canvas apparently deattached from the body.
Wouter – 08-11-17 (sold)
A commissioned piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I had to come up with a solution for depicting his pale skin hues and still rendering them too unsaturated.
Marijke Akkers-Kersten – 06-11-17 (sold)
Some time ago my mother and I visited the Mauritshuis at The Hague, Netherlands, in order to show the neighbor’s girl around all the goodies of Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Dordrecht – 07-12-17
A couple of weeks back I was going to the Jongkind exhibition at the Dordrechtse Museum at Dordrecht, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands and I decided to go on a short detour across the city which I visit almost two decades ago for the last time.
