DUTCH STRAWBERRIES

This is a special painting. For this painting I made a color that to my knowledge has not been previously used yet. The basis for this is titanium ... Because I make my oil paints myself, I better get to know the properties of the pigments. Through this experience I could make this color ...

It were the first strawberries this year that I saw in the supermarket. From Holland and they looked very tasty .... I hope this taste can be found on the canvas ..

It measures  23.6 x 27.6 inch (60 x 70 cm). It is painted on self grounded belgium Linnen and all oil paints are handmade.

THE MUSICIAN

Now I did a bigger painting of the Musician.  My nephew playing the accordion in Enschede for the Prinses Christina Concour 2016. The study is to find in the 17 januari post.   This is the final image.

It is an elaborated underpainting.
All oil-paints are handmade and it is painted on self-grounded belgium linnen.
The measures are 17.32 x 22.83 inches (44x 58cm)
