About The Artwork
This view of an Amsterdam canal on a quiet, clear, sunny afternoon in the very early spring is close to where I live. I have often painted this beautiful canal. On this occasion I was struck by the contrast between the blue of the sky with its reflection in the water and the buildings and wooden drawbridges glowing in warm colors in the late sunlight. I hope viewers will recognize the calming, meditative expression I have tried to impart to this cityscape. After a preliminary sketch in charcoal to determine the main lines of the composition, I applied the paint layers in smooth, lively strokes.

Frans Thomas KoppelaarBorn 23th of April 1943 at The Hague. Lives and works in Amsterdam.Certain artists have painting in their fingers, like the Dutch artist Frans Koppelaar. He paints in a flowing realistic style. The well-aimed directness of his brush strokes make his works vibrate with life.Since Koppelaar mastered the art of painting he has used it to express his vision on the world around him. Not searching for drama, not trying to make his inner life the center of his art, but carefully choosing subjects that, in his view, simply asked to be painted.While his paintings appear to differ, what unites them is a deeply felt love for our planet and how through painting he manages to succeed in sharing this love with others. Saskia Siebers (art dealer and spouse of the artist)
