Meyendel – 26-02-15

Meyendel is a park to the north of The Hague, near Wassenaar, part dunes, part forest where I like to come often. It is marked by all kinds of trees and especially the pines I love to draw / paint.

I was attracted to the light shing through the needles of the pine, almost making them transparant and blueish rather than showing sharp contours.

Meyendel – 16-02-15 (sold)

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.

Sans titre – 05-02-15

I was drawn to the cubistic qualities the model created by posing this way, creating a beautiful rhythym of light and dark planes in her body.
