Lightning

Abstract oil on linnen, 40x50 cm., 16x20"

I finished this a month ago, but couldn't get a good picture of it. It's still not right but the best I could do. the painting was hanging on the wall to dry, and someone was mad about it. Today I got a call from her..........., So it's sold!!

English landscape

Finally some watercolour painting again...........
I had the background done ages ago, and when I went through the unfinished paintings, I thought this could  be an English landscape with the mountains. For the foreground I used a photo of my friend Stephie to finish it.
A quarter sheet Arches.

Sunny City

It has been a while since I posted, but here is another abstract city. Made with a palet knife and acrylic paint on canvas. 50x70 cm.
I made this when my friend Stephie was here in August. We had lots of fun experimenting.

Red Passage

It's almost all done with a palet knive. I first put all the patches with different colours down and then devoeloped it into this abstract scene of a city and water.
Acrylic canvas is 80x100 cm, 32x40".

The Major

My dog...The Major... a Jack Russell terrier is 14 years old now, and this is the second time I painted her.
Once in watercolour and now in................... watermixable oil paint.

Stephie and I saw a demonstration at the David Shepherd Wildlife Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London,
Mandy Shepherd and Emily Lamb were demonstrating there.

I ordered the watermixable oilpaint because I liked it so much and it does work fine.
No terpetine, no smell. Fantastic!! The brand I could order here is Cobra.

Exhibition

Yesterday I hang the paintings for an exhibiton in a homecare called St. Jozef house.
The paintings are from members of the artgroup I join in the winter season.

The exhibition started June 15 and will last till October 15, 2011

At least the people in the homecare had really possitive feedback and enjoyed the paintings.
Ofcourse there are a lot of people visiting their mum or dad who have to stay in there because they can't live on their own anymore. Which means a lot of views

3 of my acrylic paintings hang there. Totally there are 26 paintings hanging.

for some sales.

New Years Fire

Every year we have a fire in one of the streets nearby.
It burns from the last night of the year till the early morning of Januari 1st.
All night there are neighbours around the fire, good wishes, talking, a drink and something to eat once in a while.
I didn't go this year, but Tom did..............he was home at 6 am.

I first made a background, just fantasy, when the painting stood here on the easel, the colours remind me of a photo of 2 years ago. I used only a part of the photo, just the figures.
