An introduction to my art

   Mill 'De Vlieger' - 09-06-14  There is this little corner of unspoiled beauty in the midst of Leidschendam-Voorburg , where an old mill is situated with some carefully groomed countryside surrounding it. It is De Vliegermolen (Mill 'De Vlieger'). I once in a while go there by bike on my way to Brugman Art where I teach.  Back in 2014 I decided to do a pastel of this mill after Mondriaan's  Mill at Sunlight . I did not go easy on the orange/blue complementary contrast scheme so it turned out to become a quite hefty pastel. Luckily for me I sold it at August 11th 2020 to a German collector through Singulart.com If you like to read further, please visit this link to my website . If you like it, you can download a printable (hi-res framable picture) for only € 3.99 .

Pastel study 03 (2013) (sold) This pastel I made on a whim whilst working at Brugman Art at Voorburg, Netherlands, waiting for my students in the evening. I wanted to try something new and had some expressionistic outcome in mind. I often look for color composition, either in pastel or in oil, by picking out some pastel sticks I like and see what I can do with them. This time I think I hit the hammer on the nail directly. The color scheme is fantastic and I sold the pastel directly to a Canadion collector through Saatchiart.com . If you want to see it on my website, please follow this link . If you like to download a printable (hi-res downloadable file) for only € 3.99, please click here . You can print it / have it print out at your local printshop. It will look great when framed.
