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,

Elisabeth and Wendy

The last few weeks I was busy with some portraits. I made 4 but I'm allowed to post the ones of Elisabeth and Wendy. Mother and daughter.
I really enjoyed painting these. I was lucky to get some pictures with lovely lights on the faces. And natural light. Good pictures make it more enjoyable to paint .
I was happy to hear they loved the paintings. :-))

Exhibition

Meditatie

Acrylic, 50x70 cm.

Meditatie                                                                 

De beweging van de zee                                                                                             

Het geluid van de golven

Ik kijk ernaar en luister

Tranen stromen over mijn wangen

Soms van verdriet

Maar ook van geluk

De wind blaast ze op het water

Golven nemen ze mee

Naar de diepte van de oceaan

Weg zijn alle zorgen

Ik kijk nog even naar

de prachtige ondergaande zon

en ga naar huis……… ontspannen.

Meditation

The movement of the sea

The sound of the waves

I watch it and I hear it

Tears running down my cheeks

Sometimes of grief

But also of happiness

The wind blows them into the water

Waves take them

Into the depth of the ocean

Gone are all the sorrows

For a moment I watch

the beautiful sunset

and I’m going home..... relaxed.

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.
