Oosterbeek – 07-04-20 The second one of Oosterbeek this week and I chose a specific spot in the park where there is a bend in brook running through it. I found the reflections of the tree just enough to give my drawing something extra and in the background the Princess Juliana Base still is visible behind the treeline. It gave me some rectangulars counterbalancing all things organic and also to avoid the scenery becomes to clotted with medium toned subtle branches, leafs and grasses.

My work can be seen in many countries all over the world. I employ a variety of styles that all have one thing in common: the ever search for the light on phenomena and all the shadows and light planes they block in. My favorites in doing so are oil paint, dry pastel and graphite pencil. It is not the form or the theme that counts but the way planes of certain tonal quality vary and block in the lights. Colours are relatively unimportant and can take on whatever scheme. It is the tonal quality that is ever present in my work, creating the illusion of depth and mass on a flat 2d-plane. I combine figurative work with the search for abstraction because neither in extremo can provide the desired art statement the public expects from an artist. Besides all that, exaggeration and deviation is the standard and results in a typical use of a strong colour scheme and a hugh tonal bandwith, in order to create art that, when the canvas or paper would be torn into pieces, in essence still would be recognizable.
I teach art (drawing / painting) at Voorburg, Netherlands where I have my second studio next to my first at The Hague, Netherlands, where I live.
