Roundism – 03-09-19

I found a great vintage photo online that inspired me to put this female body on paper using triangles and round shapes, strengthening the pyramid like pose.

Una in aliam – 01-09-19

This oil painting is based on my drawing ‘Nude – 17-06-15’. An artist often sees one thing in another. Salvador Dali saw a rhinoceros in Vermeer’s Lacemaker. I saw a horse in a women’s thigh.

Voorburg – 27-08-19

Another drawing of a chiaroscuro forest lane at Park Sonnenburgh in Voorburg, Netherlands, conveniently lingering about around the corner of where I work.

De Lakenhal – 16-08-19​

Last weekend I visited De Lakenhal at Leiden, Netherlands to see the exhibition ‘Rembrandt and the Golden Age’.

Sans titre – 08-08-19 (sold)

This drawing ‘Sans Titre – 08-08-19’ depicts Lily Elsie, Edwardian actress and singer. For obvious reasons liked the hair volume, its curls and plains.

Julia – 02-08-19

Last year I used dancer Julia Gómez Avilés as a model. Next to being a wonderful person for an artist she is ideal because of her flexibility.

Rotterdam – 23-07-19

In the dead of summer means I am in the midst of the outdoor sketching season. Although I did not complete this one on the spot the invention of the basic composition and planal distribution were done at Katendrecht, Rotterdam.

Voorburg – 22-07-19

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Voorburg – 23-07-19’ is all about an impressionist view on sunlight between trees. How leafy can it be!

Beek – 21-07-19

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Beek – 21-07-19’ I made during a trip to Beek-Ubbergen with my parents. The focus lies on the tree in the front.

Voorburg – 16-07-19

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Voorburg – 16-07-19’ is about a place I know very well. It’s Park ‘t Loo in Voorburg and this is my cubist interpretation of it.
