Waterlandkerkje – 04-05-14

impressionistic landscape graphite pencil drawing

I was intrigued by the furrows plowed into the acre and the effect of the light on the individual furrows shifting the tonality with each furrow a little bit.

Swaensteyn – 25-04-14

impressionistic urban graphite pencil drawing

An impressionistic view on the backlighted old town ‘Swaensteyn’ at Voorburg, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, where I teach.

De Pier – 11-08-13

impressionistic seascape graphite pencil sketch

A 5 minute sketch at Scheveningen beach near The Hague, Netherlands. I love to go out and sketching nature.

Henriëtte (2013) (sold)

Surrealistic portrait of Henriette Sibbie oil painting

An oil painting of Henriëtte Sibie, who sits for me quite frequently, most of the times at Studio Brugman.

Peggy (2011)

Expressionistic nude oil painting

A live model that I painted at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Netherlands. The purporse was to meet realism from an expressionistic starting point.

Elysian fields (2008)

Surrealistic landscape oil painting

A big surrealistic oil painting. Surrealism – with Salvador Dali as exceptional example – always has drawn my attention.

Flames (2007)

Surrealistic still life oil painting

A surreastic oil painting with an ashtray and flowers as cigars. I liked painting the texture of fire so I had to come up with a dark negative space to sett off the light sufficiently.

Grassy Knoll 1 (2007)

surrealist landscape oil painting

The original oil painting on which I based a much larger version. I was fantasizing what would have happened in the days before the assassination of president John F. Kennedy at the very spot (Dealy Plaza).
