Successful exhibition – 21 May 2023

The exhibition at Galerie langs de Rijn was wonderful! I met a lot of nice people and sold some paintings. It was really fun with gallery owner Riet van den Berg and sculpturer Sandra Pot.

Now that the exhibition is over, I have more time to paint. Here I am back at one of my favorite spots!

Exhibition at Galerie langs de Rijn – 16 April until 18 May 2023
From April 16 through May 14, 2023, the exhibition “Landscape in Pictures” will take place at Galerie Langs de Rijn. Sandra Pot, visual artist from Rhenen, is exhibiting her beautiful bronze sculptures. I get to show my paintings. I have about 30 meters to fill, no pressure….

Galerie Langs de Rijn is located in an annex of a historic tobacco farm in the village of Elst on the Utrechts Heuvelrug. What makes the gallery unique is its location, situated on the Elst floodplain of the Rhine, with magnificent views of the nature reserve. That alone is worth a visit 😉

The grand opening is on April 16. You are most welcome!

Rijksstraatweg 232, 3921 AN Elst (municipality of Rhenen)

Two prizes! – 12 March 2023

I want to thank everyone who voted for my painting in the winter painting contest of painting platform National Atelier. My painting won the audience award! I also won the third prize overall.

Jury comments:
A beautiful unified world where skating rink, figures, forest edge and sky speak the same heady language. The creamy touch and frisky handwriting not only unify but also create atmosphere. The woodenness of the front figure produces a charming inexperienced skater. The painter does not rely on a sophisticated language of form, but the speed of painting creates a vivid image.

Art Eindhoven – 4 and 5 Februari 2023

The artist platform National Atelier has a booth at this art fair and is exhibiting two of my paintings. Will you come and take a look? Here you can buy tickets for Art Eindhoven.
