The Great Shipping
2016"The Great Shipping" was also a work I added to the exhibition "Holland" in Galerie Zuid (Harskamp). I had an image in my head of a trinity of patriotic frogs who were leaving for a mighty journey. The elements of shipping and exploring (Golden Age), froglandpeople, Orange, the flag of Holland, the wooden shoe, it's all in there. And I was almost in the water making the photo of the wooden shoe I wanted to paint, which floated off...
Hollands hoen
2016From a paintingguest I got a small amount of wooden planks in which deeper parts. It took some time, but an idea popped up to fill the deeper spaces with parts of an image, so it looked like the totallity of the image was places behind the wood which was of higher reliëf. The eggform brought me to the Hollands Hoen (A Dutch chickenbreed).
Young cattle on the dike
2011After a demonstration "painting high skies" this canvas stood waiting without any other subject on it. But see, a visit to an organic calf farmer who we paid a visit with the painting club to study cows, brought me to this beautiful trio.
