Ode to the harpsichord – 14-04-17 (sold)
I was invited for a harpsichord concert at the home of one of my students.
The Court’s Pond (De Hofvijver) – 07-04-17
Situated in the heart of The Hague (Den Haag) next to the Tweede Kamer (dutch Parliament). I wanted to break up the scene into circles, planes and triangles.
Rotterdam – Delftshaven – 31-03-17 (sold)
Situated at Rotterdam, Delftshaven is the old harbour entree for the city of Delft, at the north of Rotterdam. I wanted to do a drawing full of atmosperic depth but still with a bit of cubist styling in it.
Roundism – 22-03-17
In this one I abstracted the forms to the max. That was quite easy because the body looked almost chiseled.

The green eyed girl (2017) (sold)
A commission for a classic portrait. The young girl, age 3, has beautiful green eyes (hence the title) and was very animated during the sessions, which is fun to watch but difficult to work with as an artist.
A Metallurgical Approach to Bettie Page – 12-03-17
Bettie Page was an American pin-up of the 1950s that stood for her sexual liberation in an America that yet had to face the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
Bettie Page – 24-02-17
Another drawing by me of Bettie Page returning to surrealism again. After scrutinizing her features and estimating what her character would have been like I came to an inescapable conclusion. Eggs, rabbits, dogs and snakes could be derived from her and were essential for her expression.
Henk Akkers – 15-02-17 (sold)
A portrait of my dad in roundistic forms. Always great to turn bushes and trees into round and abstract shapes.
Roundism – 12-02-17 (sold)
