Pre-Summer Art Show

 

3 days, 4 artists, 5 disciplines

Last year, the three-day exhibition at that fantastic venue of the art patrons Eva and Riekus was a success. More than 200 visitors have seen about 30 of our works of art, many pieces were sold, and the artists received several commissions. So it went well enough to decide to repeat it.

No sooner said than done. This year we are organizing another art show by professional island artists in the beautifully preserved historic Stalhuus in Hollum. With many new works: bronze and stone sculptures by Erwin Pattipeilohy, wooden design objects by Peter Kiewied, and my oil paintings. And I am immensely delighted to introduce super talented Sjors Kiewiet with his series of marvellous screen prints.

Well, 3 days - 4 artists - 5 disciplines. A must-see. For the lucky ones who are on Ameland on June 16, 17 and 18, welcome and see you then!
Not on Ameland those days? Don't worry! Follow my blog and our social media - there will certainly be some stories and images. For a sneak preview go to valta.nl/expo

3 mooie dagen - 4 professionele kunstenaars - 5 verschillende disciplines

Vorig jaar werd de driedaagse tentoonstelling in het Stalhuus van de kunstmecenassen Eva en Riekus een succes. Meer dan 200 bezoekers hebben ruim 30 van onze kunstwerken bewonderd, veel werken werden verkocht, de kunstenaars kregen meerdere opdrachten. Het ging dus goed genoeg om het dit jaar opnieuw te gaan doen. 

Zo gezegd zo gedaan. Dit jaar organiseren we weer een kunstshow van de professionele eilander kunstenaars in de prachtig behouden ruimte in het historische centrum van ons dorp. Met opnieuw veel nieuwe werken: bronzen en stenen beelden van Erwin Pattipeilohy, houten designobjecten van Peter Kiewied, mijn schilderijen. En ik ben heel blij om dit jaar supertalent Sjors Kiewiet te introduceren met zijn geweldige serie zeefdrukken.  

3 mooie dagen - 4 professionele kunstenaars - 5 verschillende disciplines. A must-see! 

Voor de gelukkigen die op 16, 17 en 18 juni op Ameland zijn, van harte welkom en tot ziens in het Stalhuus in Hollum, 12.00 - 17.00

Master Studies

  Studying  I believe that practice is the best form of learning, and master copying is the most effective to practice while studying. Since we always (aspire to) learn, I find that copying a masterpiece that inspires you is an excellent method to achieve this.  In essence, master copying is not about creating perfect replicas; instead, it's about gaining a deeper understanding of artistic principles and techniques. It's a valuable tool for any artist seeking to improve their skills and expand their knowledge.  From time to time, I will update this post with my new master studies. Here are some: May 2025 After J.C. Leyendecker painting "Couple on Deck Chairs. 1904" I have been fascinated by the works and biography of this great Golden Age artist for a long time. Recently, I finally read a beautiful book titled simply, "J.C. Leyendecker", written by Laurence S. Cutler and Judy Goffman Cutler. His name and influence were most prolific; his private life was kep...

You'll Get Over It

  What could possibly happen? Something tragic, I assume. I am sure you can imagine dozens of situations where this setting could be possible. Regret, revelation, anger, shock, despair, compassion, support, consolation, reassurance, forgiveness, unbelief, doubt, fear... All of these might apply to the people in this painting. And all these are actually expressed with hands. And there will be nothing of these when you think those hands away, I'm afraid.   This is another small one in my series Hands' Private Life. I painted it all prima with my limited palette of Burnt sienna, Ultramarine blue, Yellow ochre, Cadmium red and Titanium white. As reference, I used the photographs Paul and myself took of me and my hands, in four different settings.    While thinking about how to name this piece, with my music on, the Legacy by PSB suddenly started to playback. The lyrics were so true, my mood was quite down, and the title was chosen. (And first I was thinking of calli...
