The population of fallow deer in the Dutch dunes is loved and reviled at the same time. They eat flowers and shrubs in peoples' gardens and rare plants in the dunes, cause traffic accidents and walk through the streets. Fences are put up and population management takes place by hunting. Does are fed birth control pills. Whatever happens, there is always someone to demonstrate in favour or against and the number of lawsuits on this subject can no longer be counted. The deer keep on grazing as if it doesn't concern them at all. I painted this in oil on transparently prepared linen, so the natural linen shines through. For safety,, I ship this large painting unstretched. Any framer near you can restretch it for a reasonable fee. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.

I paint and draw my immediate surroundings in the rural area just north of Amsterdam. Aiming to show a timeless beauty, without reverting to nostalgia. Every time I’m out there with my easel, I ask myself: what fascinates me about what I see and how do I capture the beauty of this view in my painting? I am always looking for the essence of what I want to express. The area I live in has a rich and long cultural history. I paint people, landscapes, animals, trying to show them the way they are now, framing them in their rapidly changing surroundings. At the moment, the focus of my work lies with painting cattle, sheep and horses. Farm animals are part of our cultural heritage and our landscape, as well as an economic factor. They are not pets, but production units. Life and death of these animals lies in our hands. Their physical strength is intimidating, certainly up close, but they are utterly dependent and vulnerable. I want to show this impressive strength and beauty, but I also want to raise the issue of servitude and fragility. I do this in lifesize drawings and paintings, that often express a certain threat or sadness, as well as the beauty of the animals.
