Sans titre – 08-08-19 (sold)

This drawing ‘Sans Titre – 08-08-19’ depicts Lily Elsie, Edwardian actress and singer. For obvious reasons liked the hair volume, its curls and plains.

4th August 2019

Started a new painting tody, based on my previous drawing ‘Nude – 17-06-15’. After building my new website in July I longed for dragging myself from the screen to the wood panel and do this one, also because I feel an obligation to finally work out all of my ideas in graphite pencil onto wood panel and/or linen.

Julia – 02-08-19

Last year I used dancer Julia Gómez Avilés as a model. Next to being a wonderful person for an artist she is ideal because of her flexibility.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Beek – 21-07-19’ I made during a trip to Beek-Ubbergen with my parents. The focus lies on the tree in the front.

Voorburg – 16-07-19

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Voorburg – 16-07-19’ is about a place I know very well. It’s Park ‘t Loo in Voorburg and this is my cubist interpretation of it.

Kethel -13-07-19

When I returned to my car from my little trip to Kethel, Schiedam, Netherlands, I saw this beautiful tree in bloom. Sometimes you look for grand things and the little all of a sudden pop into your eyes when least expected.
