VIEW IN MY ROOM
On my way through the fields one day from the train station in Bussum to the Singermuseum in Laren, Holland, I saw this flowering heather, this intense purple, the characteristic growth of the branches. I thought it worth of a large painting, I love large paintings, but because the entrance to my studio is not build on large paintings, I had to split it in three, and therefore the result is this triptych. In fact my whole studio is too small for large canvasses, as you can see on the photographs, but I am too much attached to this quarter where I live, which the finest quarter of Amsterdam, full of pubs, restaurants, terraces, young people and all important museums nearby. Originally a workers quarter, it's now a place for wealthy students, (or at least, children of well to do parents), who do not need such spacious accommodations yet. If you happen to be in Amsterdam, please do not hesitate to pay me a visit and see my work, the pleasure will be fully mine, for painting is very nice but also very solitary occupation. Oil painting on three canvas panels. The painting is shipped in a wooden crate, ready to hang, and because the sides are also painted, a frame is not really needed.

Born in 1951. Live and work in Amsterdam. After year's of painting in deforming styles, in 1998 I returned to realism.From 2000 till 2016 I only painted portraits. In every painting I start with a dramatic background, to end up with minimizing all effects, to let the maximum of attention go to the subject.Sometimes a pity because of loss of scenic and painterly effects, but always the optimum for me. In contrast to the life authenticity and vivacity of the subject, the calmness of windless lake. My main example's are Holbein the younger and Michelangelo Caravaggio. Since some years ago I felt the need to do something else. During long hiking trips I made lots of photos of the landscape's I was passing, so the subject of this something different was already rather predetermined. As I have a strong preference for realism, also in my landscapes this preference is not far off. Though, as is said often nowadays, all options are on the table, as in fact I just started with this subject and would like to let my style or style's develop unhindered. Painting portraits stays as fascinating as it always has been, but more playful work in between is a pleasant enrichment.
