Sprookjes van Deirdre

 
Het boek is uit! 





Het is al gedrukt en ligt binnenkort in de winkels.

Ik ben trots en vereerd dat ik mijn bescheiden bijdrage mocht leveren aan dit prachtige boekje: ik heb de illustraties gemaakt voor acht prachtige verhalen van Dimphy Timmers.   

In januari schreef ik over hoe het allemaal begon. Het was een uitzonderlijk goed en efficiënt teamwerk met Peter van Noort, Jeanet de Jong, de drukker MarneVeenstra. In no-time waren we klaar met vormgeving, correcties en publiciteitsstrategie zodat het boekje snel kon worden uitgegeven en gepresenteerd.
En het was totaal onverwacht en ontroerend om mee te maken dat een aantal particuliere sponsors vanuit eigen initiatief het harde kaft van het boekje hebben gefinancierd.    

Charlotte Penders heeft over deze sprookjesbundel een mooi artikel geschreven, het is nu gepubliceerd in De Amelander nr. 3 van 2024.

18 mei, op de verjaardag van Dimphy, wordt het boek gepresenteerd in de Heerskamer van Herberg de Zwaan door het vertelcollectief Ameland Vertel!. De originele illustraties worden daar ook tentoongesteld.

Vanaf 18 mei is het boek te koop in de boekhandels en bij een aantal andere locaties op Ameland. 

Het boekje kan ook worden voorbesteld. Lees hoe in de blog Ameland Boeken: amelandboeken.blogspot.com

Op 14 - 16 juni wordt er opnieuw aandacht besteed aan Sprookjes van Deirdre. Deze keer tijdens de Driedaagse expositie in het Stalhuus aan de Burenlaan in Hollum. Daar wordt verteld over en uit het boekje door Ameland Vertel!. En je kunt dan ook de originele illustraties bekijken. Wordt vervolgd!

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 calling it Cavalleria

Peaceful Fields, project completed

A very special commission indeed When I posted  this story in March   I still did not quite believe this project could ever be realised. Today I am  proud to tell and to show that the project was successfully completed and that I was honoured to play a small part in it.  But first things first. The most northern historical windmill in the Netherlands, called De Phenix, has been thoroughly restored and repurposed as a unique working both flour and oil mill with a large underground visiting area. Dozens of professionals and volunteers have been working hard for four years to make this happen. It became one of eight  Amelander Musea . Being a volunteer, I  was invited in February by the museum working group to collaborate in the design of the underground space of the mill. Besides the whole construction, I was particularly impressed by the very long concrete wall which I thought should stay just clear and unfurnished bearing only some decoration on it, possibly depicting a scenery traditi

Utrecht Revisited

  A new show in the Gallery Rob Rademaker I love being in the old historic downtown of Utrecht.  It's always nice to return to the place where I used to live for 13 happy years, until 7 years ago we moved to another beautiful but totally different place. Luckily the old city centre is not changing much or rapidly so I still recognise and enjoy the historic streets, grachten,   hofjes,  churches and houses I used to walk along.    Right in the middle of this beautiful downtown, behind the city hall, you can find the Gallery Rob Rademaker , located on the ground floor of a very old house with a rich history. This autumn, the gallery is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Now you can imagine how excited, happy and honoured I am to be exhibiting my paintings here.  From 9 September to the end of October, the works of three artists, Rob Jacobs, Henri Poppelaars and myself are on show in this gallery.  Well, if you happen to (re)visit Utrecht during these months,  take a leisurely stroll d
