Roundism – 11-02-18
Based on two previous artworks: a pastel called ‘Into the light – 15-06-17’ (impressionistic, surrealsitic) and a graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 04-07-17’. I liked both works and took the colour scheme of the pastel drawing in reds and greens but also used the roundism style of the pencil drawing and combine them.
Roundism – 02-02-18 (sold)
Based on a prestudy in pastel (Model – 01-12-18) I made this painting in oil. My objective was to stay in line with the fauvist colour kind of strokes (in case of the pastel they were pretty much ‘broken’ and ‘open’ strokes / patches) but also to get to a more abstract feel by means of rendering the model slighty cubistic.
Mary Pickford – 13-09-17
This is the painting based on a previous drawing ‘Sans titre – 25-10-16’ depicting Mary Pickford, one of the first female leading ladies in movie history.

During my lessons as a teacher I stell my students there is no end to perfection and one never can tell when a painting or drawing is finished.
Roundism – 12-02-17 (sold)
This painting is a culmination of all drawing efforts as to the same model pose.
Glass vase (2016)
A quick painting I made the morning before afternoon’s workshop ‘painting glass’.
Roundism – 06-07-16
A second painting in the same roundism series, based on the variations on the same theme drawings. In this one I combined cubistic forms with pointillism.
cubistic spring at voorburg – 05-05-16
I started this one at Studio Brugman, Voorburg, Netherlands at King’s Day (Koningsdag) last year after the previous two drawings ‘Tree at Voorburg’.
Nude – 04-03-16 (sold)
A pastel that was lingering about in my studio for years until I completed it. I went for a strong purple / yellow contrast. It’s now with a private collector in China.
Pearls – 01-03-16 (sold)
This was commissioned work and the purpose was to capture sensuality and through cubist forms get the round female shapes.
