Etude (2005)

Realistic still life oil painting

A quick study. I liked doing something simple and I arranged the objects in a triangular position. With only some faint color usage. I guess I was learning the trade of oil painting still, seeing this one after all these years.

Scared tomatoes (2007)

Surrealistic still life oil painting

A surrealistic still life because, after all, still lifes are very boring and very still in the first place.

Foetus (2004)

Realistic nude oil painting

I love foreshortened positions and although the model is tucked in very tightly, through application of the golden ratio and positioning the model according it, the composition worked out fine.

Erasmus (2004) (sold)

Realistic interior oil painting

Since my birth I am a fan of big empty spaces. I painted this one in my previous apartment at the Erasmusweg, The Hague, Netherlands and used it as a stage to suggest emptiness.

Still life with fruit (1978)​

Child's painting by Corne Akkers

An early attempt to draw realistic motifs. I can see that all depth still is lacking and I cannot remember when I saw tonal values for the first time.
