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.

Nude – 19-01-16

I liked the sausage-form quality of the model reclining on the floor and immediately saw the roundism-styled shapes in it.

Meyendel – 20-12-15 (sold)

This pastel drawing ‘Meyendel – 20-12-15’ is the result of an extended search. Initially, monochrome but turned into cubist colorific splendor.

Pieternella – 18-07-15 (sold)

Commissioned work. They wanted a portrait in a cubistic style. I used velours paper so I could make planes very easily with my Schmincke pastels.

Laura – 01-04-15 (sold)

A commission piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I liked doing the blue in the hair at the left top side, showing the blue sky just outside the window.

Estate ‘Oosterbeek’ – 17-03-15 (sold)

A small park just around the corner where I sometimes wander about. I was struck by the light through the trees and the atmospheric depth.

Meyendel – 27-02-15

A more cubistic pastel drawing of Meyendel, following the previous ones. I like this ones better because I dared to put the cubes through the branches so the drawing becomes fragmented.
