Gouda – 11-08-18

Last week I was walking in the direction of Museum Gouda to visit the exhibition ‘From Gauguin to Toorop’ when I saw this canal adjacent to the museum, opposite to the old church of Gouda.

Leiden – 23-01-18

When I was walking across the Morspoort Bridge at Leiden I saw this incredible clouds party over Mill ‘De Put’ at the river Rijn towards the Weddesteeg across the water, where Rembrandt was born.

The sheik of Araby – 15-10-17

I lost my contacts – 23-09-17

Last Sunday I had another photo shoot and drawing session with my favorite odel and after I saw back the photos there was only one plausible conclusion: There comes a time when you look at a naked woman and discover new things.

Mary Pickford – 13-09-17

This is the painting based on a previous drawing ‘Sans titre – 25-10-16’ depicting Mary Pickford, one of the first female leading ladies in movie history.

Delft – 19-08-17 (sold)

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Delft – 19-08-17 (Sold)’ is a surrealist one. One time I was finding myself steering my bike to Delft.

Ascension – 24-05-17

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Ascension – 24-05-17’ is a special one. Initially I had a another title in mind: ‘God is loose’ but ‘Ascension’ describes it better.

The mythical appearance of Alexis de Roode at Voorburg – 15-05-17 (sold)

These times call for a poet that says it all.

Bettie Page – 24-02-17

Another drawing by me of Bettie Page returning to surrealism again. After scrutinizing her features and estimating what her character would have been like I came to an inescapable conclusion. Eggs, rabbits, dogs and snakes could be derived from her and were essential for her expression.

Sans titre – 23-09-16

One out of the series ‘sans titre’ after the moviestar ‘Gene Tierney’ in the roundism style.
