Nude – 21-12-16 (sold)
Did this one for a Chinese collector who wanted to have a copy the same pastel from 2012 which he acquired as well. The Chinese are into realistic western art nowadays.

I was attracted to the cubist quality of the planes that still offer a realistic / impressionistic view on a back alley in a small town called ‘Schoonhoven’, Netherlands.
Nude – 07-12-16 (sold)
A work in which I combined colour saturation with complementary colour schemes.

A quick painting I made the morning before afternoon’s workshop ‘painting glass’.
The Ooij polder – 27-06-16 (sold)
A little pond situated in the Ooij Polder, Gelderland, Netherlands, near Nijmegen, caused me a lot of trouble.

In retrospective this is an ode to my deceased cat who died in November 2016. This is her, reclining in the sun, a couple of months earlier, when she was still going strong.

Sometimes they roam about the streets of beach town Scheveningen, part of The Hague, at the North Sea.
Nude – 07-03-16
A classic study of the female corpse in pastel. I put the stress on the high lights.
Rotterdam – Coolhaven – 02-03-16 (sold)
A rather impressionistic view on Coolhaven (part of the harbour of Rotterdam). I made this drawing inspired by a trip to Rotterdam when I passed by the Coolhaven and I lost a contact that day so I saw it quite blurry.
Marlot – 18-02-16
This graphite pencil drawing ‘Marlot – 18-02-16’ is a surrealist one. I started out doing this one impressionistically then I saw the potential for something else
