Drawn in one of the monthly live drawing sessions at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Netherlands.
The mythical appearance of Alexis de Roode at Voorburg – 15-05-17 (sold)

These times call for a poet that says it all.
Leiden – 27-12-16 (sold)

An impressionistic view on Leiden, where I studied. I am often fascinated my reflections in water and there are so many canals to be found over there. The movement of the water is what I put as a central theme in this drawing.
Nude – 21-12-16 (sold)

Did this one for a Chinese collector who wanted to have a copy the same pastel from 2012 which he acquired as well. The Chinese are into realistic western art nowadays.
Schoonhoven – 15-12-16

I was attracted to the cubist quality of the planes that still offer a realistic / impressionistic view on a back alley in a small town called ‘Schoonhoven’, Netherlands.
Nude – 07-12-16 (sold)

A work in which I combined colour saturation with complementary colour schemes.
Sans titre – 25-10-16 (sold)

One from the series ‘sans titre’ depicting moviestars. This one is a tribute to Mary Pickford in some kind of cubistic roundish style.
Glass vase (2016)

A quick painting I made the morning before afternoon’s workshop ‘painting glass’.
Sans titre – 23-09-16

One out of the series ‘sans titre’ after the moviestar ‘Gene Tierney’ in the roundism style.
The Ooij polder – 27-06-16 (sold)

A little pond situated in the Ooij Polder, Gelderland, Netherlands, near Nijmegen, caused me a lot of trouble. I saw human figures in the treeline and the water reflections but I had to come up with some subtlety so I wouldn’t attrack all the attention to the figures as well to the trees as a given realistic fact.
