Another drawing of a clairobscur forest lane at Park Sonnenburgh in Voorburg, Netherlands, conveniently lingering about around the corner of where I work.

Rotterdam – 23-07-19
In the dead of summer means I am in the midst of the outdoor sketching season. Although I did not complete this one on the spot the invention of the basic composition and planal distribution were done at Katendrecht, Rotterdam. The vista is directed at Hotel New York that nowadays looks almost encapsulated by skycrapers. I was there long ago but the cityscape almost was inrecognizable. The watertaxi was done in my studio because they keep on moving all the time. Nevertheless a new typical sight in swinging Rotterdam. Although, the drawing seems rather detailed, I kept it quite impressionistical.
Voorburg – 22-07-19
After teaching today I went to Park Sonnenburgh in Voorburg, Netherlands around the corner.
Beek – 21-07-19
Today I was out on a trip to Beek-Ubbergen with my parents. We returned to the place where I sketched two previous drawings. This time I drew the whole thing at the very spot, opposite to the Duivelsberg (Mount Devil).
The Hague – 21-05-19
At the front my flat overlooks a great cityscape of The Hague, Netherlands, where I live. Already used as a styled (roundism) background in my oil painting ‘The Madonna of The Hague (2015)’ I decided to do a small sketch of the same view, now enriched with some extra high buildings like ‘New Babylon’ in the city centre.
Plasmolen – 16-05-19
At Mothersday I went to the hills at Plasmolen, outside Nijmegen.
Rotterdam – 14-05-19
At Katendrecht in Rotterdam I had a clear view on the old harbour buildings and I saw the potential of horizontals, some verticals and a diagonal by means of a quay to the right.
Voorburg – 12-05-19
There is this specific spot in Voorburg at the beginning of the Herenstraat where it is particulary beautiful.
Haagse Bos – 10-05-19
When I came back from Clingendael I took my favorite way back home through ‘estate Reigersbergen’.
Voorburg – 09-05-19
In springtime Voorburg is a wonderful place to be. The Old Church is catching light and the big ol’ tree in front of it is shattering the light on top of the church roof.
