Waterlandkerkje – 04-05-14
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
An impressionistic view on the backlighted old town ‘Swaensteyn’ at Voorburg, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, where I teach.
De Pier – 11-08-13
A 5 minute sketch at Scheveningen beach near The Hague, Netherlands. I love to go out and sketching nature.
The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) – 26-07-13
An impressionistic drawing of water reflections in The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos), Netherlands, done with graphite pencil.
De Koepel (The Dome) at Voorburg – 18-07-13 (sold)
A striking building at the estate ‘Vreugd en Rust’ at Voorburg, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands where I wander about often, taking photos and sketching. This one I did in the burning sun for 20 minutes max.
Henriëtte (2013) (sold)
An oil painting of Henriëtte Sibie, who sits for me quite frequently, most of the times at Studio Brugman.
Peggy (2011)
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)
A big surrealistic oil painting. Surrealism – with Salvador Dali as exceptional example – always has drawn my attention.
Flames (2007)
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)
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).
