These Corona days I wander about the region like I am used to. Nothing changed in this respect and I am more than happy that we in The Netherlands have at least some freedom of movement and that the end of our ‘intelligent lock down’ is in sight
A unique situation: everybody all around the world at home and as to me: I got nothing to do except for painting and sketching but hey that is what we artists do all the time.
At the front my flat overlooks a great cityscape of The Hague, Netherlands, where I live. Already used as a styled (roundism) background in my oil painting ‘The Madonna of The Hague (2015)’ I decided to do a small sketch of the same view, now enriched with some extra high buildings like ‘New Babylon’ in the city centre.
When I came back from Clingendael I took my favorite way back home through ‘estate Reigersbergen’.
The Laakmolen is an ancient mill already painted by Vincent van Gogh and it is hidden from plain sight nowadays.
The reference picture I used I took last year at the brink of spring.
The Nieuwe Veenmolen, dating back from 1652, is situated nearby to where I live.
When I ride my bike through The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) just around the corner I see only beauty.

The pond next to the dutch house of Parliament and the Prime Minister’s tower at the left, at The Hague, Netherlands.
The central pond at the Haagse Bos (The Hague Forest). I wanted to make the reflections look convincing even though there was plenty of figurative abstraction.
I wanted to do the dutch parliament in my roundish style without loosing the characteristics of the facade and buildings.
Part of the roundism series. The Hague Forest (Haagse Bos) is around the corner from where I live.
An impressionistic view on the Halstraat, a small street in the centre of The Hague, Netherlands. I was fascinated by the blocked in light column showing lots of depth in front and back to the church in the background.
The St. James Church (Grote of St.-Jacobskerk) is situated in The Hague and I pass it by often. Then one day the sun was bursting out of the sky.
I was intrigued by the evaporating water that seemed to pour out light.
