Voorburg – 01-06-19

In the dead of summer means I am in the midst of the outdoor sketching season. Although I did not complete this one on the spot the invention of the basic composition and planal distribution were done at Katendrecht, Rotterdam.

Beek – 30-05-19

I was heading for the Filosofendal at Beek, Ubbergen, Gelderland, Netherlands when I decided to take a turn to the left.

Huis Hatert – 26-05-19

There is an ancient spot in Hatert, Nijmegen, Netherlands, the place where I was born.

Self Portrait – 20-05-19

A quick sketch in pastel and charcoal after I completed my graphite pencil drawing ‘Wijk bij Duurstede – 20-05-19’ this evening.

Wijk bij Duurstede – 20-05-19

On my walk through Wijk bij Duurstede in Utrecht, Netherlands, I saw these sheep in waving grass that ran all the way down from the dike I was on to the slate tree line.

Berg en Dal – 17-05-19

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Berg en Dal – 17-05-19’ is about one of my dearest childhood memories. Walking down the N70 route was pure magic.

Laren – 30-04-19

When I Laren near the Singer Laren Museum I saw a couple of horses and perhaps they were the same couple as drawn by me in ‘hommage to a dead horse’ last year.

Veere – 04-04-19

Last weekend I was walking through Veere at Zeeland, Netherlands, a little pittoresque town. I returned to my car when I saw the sign ‘city wall tour’ and I decided to take that one and then, when I climbed onto them, I saw this great composition that reminded me of Caravaggio’s ‘Descent from the cross’, a perfect staircase composition – triangles within one big triangle.

The artist and his model – 31-03-19

This drawing is a protest and and prestudy altogether. The latter for the sake of a bigger painting and the first because I need to be more clear about nudity once again.

Roundism – 26-03-19

The sheets on my duvet on which my model lay show nice checkered patterns. Her body contrasted them quite nicely and I decided to exploit this to the max.
