2015

the strong contrasts in the wood remains thrilling

Dike near to Wijdenes

2015

A wet day in July. I insisted on making a watercolour of the Westfrisian Dike near to a place called Wijdenes. Maybe that was not very clever: I had to start four times again, before it remained dry for one hour. But the suffering payed out: It was a wonderful atmosphere with the low-hanging clouds and that stange light on the dike. You do'nt get that on a sunny day.

japanese trees

2014

the japanese black and white designs do inspire me since a long time

Hemeln, Germany

Hemeln is a small village on the border of the river Weser. It is 6 km from the village Buehren, where my daughter Kathelijne lives, with het family and horses.

This is one of the places I love to be. It is not only beautiful but also silent. The only thing you hear are the birdsongs

IJssel near to Veessen

in the estate Leyduin (near Haarlem) every year the beeches are so beautiful red that I must take them from time to time as a subject

after a walk in the Kennemer Duinen , about a quarter of an hour by bike from my home-address, the image of the dunes, was still very strong in my head

Epen from Bommerig

2010

When we were walking around Epen in South Limburg (the Neth.) we looked on the village from different viewpoints. Here, as seen from a nabourhood called Bommerig.

Maligne Lake, Jasper, Canada

In the well known mountain-centre Jasper, in the Rocky mountains in Canada, this is one of the most beautiful lakes. We made a very nice walk high above the lake.
