The Venus of The Hague – 23-07-20

The second one of Oosterbeek this week and I chose a specific spot in the park where there is a bend in brook running through it.

Veere – 24-03-20

These unusual times cause people to search for new ways to keep their minds busy. Some told me they binge watch or take virtual tours online, others turn to books still waiting for them. As an artist I just turn to what I do best for all these years: drawing and painting.
