An introduction to my art

    The Peace Pace at The Hague – 04-02-19 Building In The Hague (Den Haag) The Peace Palace is situated, wherein the The International Court of Justice of the United Nations. The building is impressive and as a lawyer I dwelled there a lot and before that time I visited it as a student a couple of times. I remember a legendary Student Ball in 1993. My girlfriend at that time and I made love in the building itself. Making a Drawing I often pass the Peace Palace by on bike and I also saw it from behind a window at Museum Mesdag. It is one of those drawings that keep on lingering in your mind, until it becomes unbearable. Then it has got to come out. That was on a windy February day and not a good time to outdoor sketching, so I took a photo. My drawing Leidschendam 11-04-19 is rendered in the same style and I am not sure how to call this style. It bears elements of roundism, cubism, impressionism and realism in it. Click here if you want to read further on my website....

  Golden brown – 24-08-20 I wanted to test some new paper I bought at Brugman Art , Voorburg, Netherlands, which is Talens Toned Colour Paper. What motif to use? Right, my regular model that shows great skin hues. Almost like Golden Brown, reminding to The Stranglers' song. I also happen to have Cretacolor pastel stick (gold) that I always wanted to try out but never found use for. I must say that both the gold stick as the paper suited to my needs. I kept a lot of the paper open so both the negative space (background) and the positive space (model) could communicate. The orange and yellow are saturated whereas the whites, light and dark blues serve as counterbalances to the saturation. There were some great angels she showed and I especially like the way the elbow is stretched, a feature only women can show in that particular fashion.
