SELF PORTRAIT.

This is a study. I took an wooden panel which I prepaired in 2013 and started this self portrait.
The small image looks a little to red-ish. When you click on it, it looks better.
A grumpy guy I would think.... :)

WINTER IN RUTBEEK.

Near where I live is an artifical lake. The sand was meanly used for traffic construction. Nowadays it is a big recreation spot for the community of Enschede.    A couple of days ago I went there biking and shot the image of the lake just covered with a tin layer of ice.  This I turned into a painting.  It is all handmade oilpaint on linen and the measures are 23.6 x 27.6 inch (60 x 70 cm).

PRINSES CHRISTINA CONCOURS

This Concours has different for-selections. My nephew joint it in Enschede where the for-selections for Prinses Christina Concours East 2016 would be held. He was the only one who played the Accordion. It was a presentation on stage before public of only 10 minutes which ment that mostly 3 pieces of musik where played. He played classical musik and the last piece was quite extraordinary.

   Later in the evening, already at home, he got an email that he was invited to join and play in the final contest which would be held the next day also in Enschede. And also here he was choosen one of the winners. Quite nice.

During his first performance I had taken some pictures and I worked out one as a study.  It is made with handmade oilpaint on a wooden panel measuring 30 x 40 cm.

DRAMA ABOVE ENSCHEDE.

It was a couple of years ago that I layed my eye on a awfully dramatic sunset. I was standing in the kitchen and looking out the window towards a high building in the far distant. The colour beauty was immens. Complementary colours in the core of the clouds.  I was fascinated. I immediately took my camera and shot a couple of images...

Finaly I have put it into oil with handmade oilpaints (except for the kremser white) on linen. The measures are 70 x 60 cm.

WASTE-LAND 2.

BERLIN STATUE.

About a year ago I was in  Berlin on the Museum island in the Alte Nationalgalerie.
There I made this picture of a marble statue. The name of it is  "Standing young man" by Adolf von Hildebrand.

The natural pose struck me. Without pretension just standing to become immortalised.
I used an aluminium plate to paint its head. The oilpaint is handmade and its measures are 18 x 24 inch (46 x 61 cm)
