Rachel and Wesley

It has been quite a while since I posted. Time for some new paintings.
I got a lovely commission to do of 2 young children. Rachel and Wesley. I'm glad the grandmother loved the portraits. She kindly gave me permission to post the portraits.
Quarter sheet Fabriano Artistico,

Friesland, dorpje Schalsum,

Once in a while I paint something else then abstract, so 2 paintings of a village nearby.
A part of Schalsum and the Schalsumer windmill, which is outside the village.
I see those views daily when I walk the dog.

Both acrylic on canvas, 40x50 cm, 16x20"

Friesland, landscape

This landscape is a common view in the area I live in the Netherlands.
Watercolour, full sheet Hahnemuller, 50x70 cm. 20x28"

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

To all of you a fine Christmas and a healthy New Year, may all your wishes come through.

This is a scene just around the corner of my street. Schalsum a little village with 250 inhabitants.

Cityhall, Franeker, Netherlands

Finally finished this acrylic on canvas of the old cityhall in Franeker, built in 1591.

50x70 cm.

Today I finished a small landscape in acrylics, 30x 40 cm/12x16".

It's a view on the dike, with the old houses in front of the dike.

Behind that high dike is the sea.
