Batenburg – 02-08-20
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Batenburg – 02-08-20’ depicts a place not far away from were I was born. A bit of beauty in impressionist hatched strokes.
Wijk bij Duurstede – 13-05-19
I came to visit Wijk bij Duurstede, a small city near Utrecht and castle Duurstede is everything one can expect from a medieval castel: a moat, a keep and a perfect preserved round tower.
Castle Duivenvoorde – 20-07-14 (sold)
A view on Castle Duivenvoorde at Voorschoten, Netherlands. Not quite satisfied with this one. I think it’s too stiff.
Castle with knights (1975 – 1980)
A cartoonesque drawing of a castle, inspired by cartoons by Wim Stevenhagen and Gerit de Jager that I read in De Taptoe, a school magazine.
Spookkasteel Nulland (1975 – 1980)
Hitting my teen years I became fascinated by violence and horrors, impressed by bloody world war and medieval stories. I think for children depicting horrific scenes is a way to overpower hefty emotions that follow seeing ones.
