Available–  31 January, 2025

The Hans Nijhof Art Prize was organised each year by the Cultural Region to encourage art in the area around the Utrechtse Heuvelrug (where I live).

Sadly, Henk Drok, the initiator of the prize and chairman of the Cultural Region has passed away. He meant a lot to art and artists (including myself) in the region!

As a result, the Hans Nijhof Art Prize will not take place. I had submitted these paintings for the prize, but they are therefore available again. No rush to sell them, they hang nicely on my own livingroom wall 😉

Wonderful sunny weekend–  12 January, 2025

We had a lot of rainy days lately. But then there was the sun! I was feeling a little too comfortable in my studio lately, so I took the opportunity and went outside to paint! It was cold, but with the right clothes, it’s doable!

KunsT met een grote T – Sept 28 and 29, 2024

I have been busy painting in and around the Brabant village of Nuenen. I grew up there and this is also the village of Vincent van Gogh, where he painted several of his famous works.

In the weekend of September 28 and 29, 2024 I will participate in ´KunsT with a big T´ in Nuenen. During this exhibition artists with relation to Nuenen get the opportunity to exhibit their work in spaces located in the center of Nuenen. I am situated at Berg 34, near the old limetree. Open between 12AM and 5PM.

10% of the proceeds will go to a good cause: the Nuenen Foundation Leergeld. This foundation provides supplies for school and sports season tickets for children who cannot afford them. Great cause!

It would be nice to see you there. Nuenen is worth visiting anyway. For example, the Van Gogh Village Museum can be viewed and the Bonnard art gallery can be visited.

Sunset, sunset, sunset – 5 May 2024

My favorite vacation is the vacation at Terschelling. Every year the same ritual: (a lot of) cycling, eating cranberry cake (at De Heeren van der Schelling in Oosterend), playing soccer, sitting in the sun on the terrace and of course painting. After dinner I cycle to the beach at Oosterend, where the beaches are very wide and it is nice and quiet. Plenty of time for a beautiful sunset, except that the sun sets so quickly…
