Model session @ Rotterdam – 19-11-17 (sold)

Yesterday’s session at Rotterdam offered Gabriëlle, the model of that Sunday afternoon. She had great hip bones and was slender, thus showing great angles and triangles with her body.

Roundism – 11-11-17 (sold)

Working again with my favourite model I took bodyscapes of her and saw limbs running back on the canvas apparently deattached from the body.
Wouter – 08-11-17 (sold)

A commissioned piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I had to come up with a solution for depicting his pale skin hues and still rendering them too unsaturated.
Marijke Akkers-Kersten – 06-11-17 (sold)

Some time ago my mother and I visited the Mauritshuis at The Hague, Netherlands, in order to show the neighbor’s girl around all the goodies of Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Dordrecht – 07-12-17

A couple of weeks back I was going to the Jongkind exhibition at the Dordrechtse Museum at Dordrecht, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands and I decided to go on a short detour across the city which I visit almost two decades ago for the last time.

The sheik of Araby – 15-10-17

This graphite pencil drawing ‘The Sheik of Araby – 15-10-17’ is in honor of moviestar Rudolph Valentino. Originally a jazz song, now an artwork.
Roundism – 08-10-17

In this drawing I tried to play with triangles, circles and rectangulars forming the model posture. Next to this the laws of singularity as described earlier apply just very nicely.
