Historic village view Today I showed the finished painting to the commissioners and I was very happy to hear they liked it. So this painting has now moved to its new home. I liked working on it. A rather large canvas has been a challenge as well as the new alla prima techniques with the oil colours. The unusual composition with a broad perspective in combination with the winter sunlight and long shadows made it work. I must admit I was also much inspired by the beautiful old classic frame provided by the commissioner, which is now a part of the painting and quite a nice match. So this became "Burenlaan in Winterzon", oil, canvas, 40 x 50 cm. View the finished painting in my gallery .

Special commission A couple of weeks ago I received an unusual request to make a painting with a ratio of 1:4. Well, I've managed to finish it before the deadline. I am very proud to work on this very special project. The purpose of all this will remain a secret for a while. I hope this story continues soon. So this became "Peaceful fields", acrylic, cardboard, app. 16 x 60 cm. View the finished painting in my gallery . UPDATE: The project  completed UPDATE: the high-quality limited edition prints are now available:  valta.nl/prints
