5.600 visitors! Needless to say, this 14th edition of the annual November Art Show was a tremendous success once again. I am proud to have exhibited four paintings from my Island Sheep series, and I am especially happy that one of them found a new home in Groningen City.            

  Still life in Collaboration For the second season, I am excited to share what I have learned and am continuing to learn about painting with interested students. It's fascinating to explore the arts together in a group and to inspire enthusiasm for creativity. During one of our sessions, we collaborated to arrange a setting for a future still life. We discussed composition, the working light and shadow, and the use of colours and values. For homework, each student was encouraged to paint their own version of the still life. This is my own version, created using the alla prima technique. Pumpkin, oil on acid-free cardboard 16 x 19 cm.  You can view the finished painting in my  gallery .
