I am currently taking part in a portrait exhibition in the local theatre, Theater aan de Slinger, in Houten,N.L., together with my two sons, Aidan  (11) and Finn (7).

All residents in Houten were invited to take part. The exhibition was preluded with a Live portrait session where 5 Houten artists captured on paper, canvas and clay, a distinguished Houten professor Gijs van Kuik. The exhibition runs until May 12th. For more info click op Portrait expo.

Paintings

I have divided my paintings into four categories. Whether its a landscape,  a person, a close-up, nature, or an abstract painting, certain elements are universal in my work. These include the light intensity which could be described as being dramatic. Also a sense of motion and energy are a constant fascination. Hope you enjoy browsing through the various categories.
