De Venkrijs


Illustraties voor het boek Sprookjes van Deirdre

Kijk, mijn eigen fiets is gelukkig nog heel. En ik heb de Venkrijs nog niet gezien. Maar ik heb hem wel gehoord 😱😜

Dit is de laatste illustratie uit het boek "Sprookjes van Deirdre" van Dimphy Timmers. Ik ben heel blij en trots dat ik hieraan mee mocht werken samen met Peter Van Noort en Jeanet F. de Jong en vele anderen. Zeker een "something to remember".

Een beperkt aantal exemplaren van het boek is nog beschikbaar bij:

boekhandel Enjoy Books, Sorgdrager Museum, Herberg de Zwaan, Onder de Vuurtoren, Koffiehuys Ameland en het Amelander Cultuurmuseum.

De originele illustraties zijn misschien binnenkort ook te zien op een mooie plek op Ameland 🤫

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 decor...

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...

Landscapes

  Study and Tell Here is a series of landscape paintings based on the photographs I recently took.       I am honoured to have been invited to share my painting process with the enthusiastic and talented local painters' club for the second season. Inspired by our sessions together, I recently created a series of quick and small landscape studies based on the beautiful surroundings of our village. This experience has provided me with a great opportunity to teach while also learning more about painting landscapes, composition, light, and colour. All three are oil on canvas board 20 x 20 cm, alla prima, limited palette. View the finished paintings in my  gallery .
