Tiltenberg, Duinen Nederland


One of these rare pictures where the dunes are used for crops and spring and fall seem almost providing a same feel of change of season. These two ducks are finding their way in this field of plenty when winter has not set its mark and the richness of the fall can still be felt in the air.
I painted the watercolour in two sessions with a high time limit as I could escape for just two ours every time. One can see that the perspective is seen from above. That is the viewpoint where the field shows at its best.

Toscany Village


This far away Toscany village viewed from the area of grapes and lazy sunny afternoons just sat there sleeping in somewhat cloudy wheather. I crafted this fragment with a small phtopshop program, but the real watercolour can be seen below.

I gave it to a friend to use in his house in the States and he was so kind to send me this picture.

Utrecht, Grachten


Utrecht has two major Grachten which wind through the inner circle of the city. This drawing was made at one of them on a beautiful summer afternoon. The light between the trees caught my attention and was the main inspiration. Of course a lantarn and the proverbial bike always present in Holland were just there to be put in the picture.
