Amsterdam

2010-01-25T00:49:00.004+01:00

And over here it was cold too. In Amsterdam in december, and i took like 15 minutes to paint.

Garderen in the snow

2010-01-25T00:40:00.003+01:00

A little one i did in the snowy coldness

saturday morning

2009-11-02T18:45:00.003+01:00

I got up early, sometimes when biking i saw great light this early. But now it was a bit misty... Pretty too.

three ladies

2009-10-27T23:48:00.003+01:00

All of a sudden when everybody was sleeping already, i just did these:

'Thai'

'Rihanna Jaja' (again from that picture from Rihanna haha)
'Owow' (done after a commercial picture)

Last light

2009-10-27T23:40:00.001+01:00

On the 'heide' in Ermelo I caught the last light, it is getting dark really quick, so after work i hurried over there, and it was good. :-)

A full bottle

2009-10-17T13:36:00.000+02:00

This must be somewhere in Haiti...

Skull

2009-10-09T21:47:00.002+02:00

Two years ago I found this skull in a forrest.
I've got no idea what kinda animal it is from. Anybody?

skull - (+-) 15x20cm - acrylics on paper

No Rihanna

2009-10-09T21:40:00.002+02:00

I think it is hard to believe, but i used a small picture from Rihanna to do this one. This looks more like somebody from the 1800's or something. But I like that too and I just let that happen, it's good, and now maybe I'll use the same picture again, and see what happens then. Although I also think it might be a good idea to take some time once and put more effort in a resemblance (how to spell that?)... and time.

No Rihanna - 15x23 cm - acrylics on paper

Just before dark

2009-10-06T18:59:00.002+02:00

Just before dark I was able to make this one. Not so much time, but i wanted to paint yes.
Done from the car, does that count as 'pleinair'? It was rainy!

Arkemheen, Bremserse weg Nijkerk - acrylics on paper - 23x15 cm

Head

2009-10-05T21:13:00.002+02:00

Uhm. A portrait by head. Experimenting with what I think is interesting in a face. And then it goes from male to female, clever to neantherthaler, pretty to ugly.
Is this my instinct?

Two more

2009-10-04T13:01:00.003+02:00

And i believe I never showed these two little ones, A dancing Indian, I think that's gonna be an act with Holiday on Ice. I used a commercial photo about that to make this one.

And this is 'South Africa 4 ya"

Lunteren

2009-10-04T12:57:00.001+02:00

Madagascar Bride

2009-08-19T23:54:00.002+02:00

Still I like to make African people portraits. Here is one from a girl from Madagascar. I think the symbols on her face mean that she is a bride...

Ardennen paintings

2009-08-13T09:30:00.006+02:00

Here are the paintings from the Ardennen holiday.

While doing this first one, somebody came up to me and told that this was a historic view, because that little hill that you see in front of the big hill, that is where the deer from Poland and Germany used to migrate to France, this person heard that from an old hunter.

Vallee of Lohan - 40x30cm - acrylics on board

This one is a bit smaller. A quicky on the light :-)

From my balcony

2009-07-20T22:57:00.002+02:00

I am surprised it looks so tropical, the painting i made from the view from my balcony :-)

Faces

2009-07-19T19:56:00.002+02:00

I have been lazy on the painting... To activate myself I said to myself, you can sooo easily scetch a face. Just put a pencil to the paper and go, not knowing what face would appear, this came out:

On the bike

2009-06-30T23:46:00.003+02:00

During a bikeride to advertise knowledge about the disease ALS, I made these two little paintings. The first one has some raindrops on it, but they just look like some little flowers!
I will send these to a friend of mine who is dealing with this disease.
The bikeride was fantastic.
There sure is beauty in my surroundings.

Molenplein

2009-05-26T19:28:00.003+02:00

Yesterday was a nice warm day, so after work I went out to look for a place to paint. These house will get torn down soon, so I decided to paint them. But ARG, painting houses... I don't know, I had to struggle for a long time, had some help from the knife, and now it looks like this. :-)

Arkerweg Nijkerk

2009-04-13T22:14:00.003+02:00

I thought it was gonna be like friday, but now i was out when the sun was pretty high in the sky... hmmm, and then the light is less spectacular, gosh and everywhere people enjoying their free day! The area around the water was really busy, so i went a little bit on the Arkerweg.

Arkerweg - 30x20cm - acrylics on board

Straight after work

2009-04-13T10:39:00.003+02:00

Tribute to a nurse

2009-04-04T14:59:00.003+02:00

White on white, that's alright, because here I want to pay some attention to the nurse :-)

I think that's an honourable profession.

Tribute to a nurse "Ode aan een zuster" - 15x20 cm - acrylics on paper

Face it

2009-04-04T14:54:00.002+02:00

Sometimes I do that, I use a picture from a face and start painting it, without paining too much attention to the picture, and then my painting is just somebody completely different and that's OK really because I just wanna have some fun with the paint. Still I learn from the picture because how light moves over a face... that's really something.
This is what happened.

Face it - 15x20cm - acrylic on paper

White Lines

2009-03-31T00:35:00.004+02:00

The current

2009-02-14T14:56:00.003+01:00

All alone at the open atelier, and i felt tired. Just every now and then some brush strokes. So a lot of looking, resting, and not so much painting. Well I am proud about the result. I like it and I feel like there was a little magic moment.

For the figure I had some help from a photo. The scene just happened.
