I had a hard time when my eldest daughter went to secundairy school recently. I think all mums can relate... letting go is much harder than I expected. While I wait for her to return home safely, I paint. Here she went, in the early morning sunglow.
We will get used to it.

I made this painting from a few pictures I made from the restaurant from where I was sitting with my family. When the people moved around, I noticed interesting poses, which I could use in my painting. I couldn't resist making a picture of every different pose, every passing interesting bicycle, ambulance, runner, pizza delivery guy, etc. My family went nuts, no phones at the table, right? Yes, well, except for making pictures :)

This painting is made based on my trip to Tilburg recently. Wouldn't it be fun if people recognise themselves in this painting :)
The sun was out, it was one of those nice warm summer days.

Delft has such attractive spots to paint. The Dutch houses, growing trees, canal and bridge and the clouds just topped it all off.

One of the first warm days of summer 2017, people on the terraces, kids playing in the sand. It was a beautiful day.

This painting is based on a restaurant in Delft, the Netherlands. After visiting the Vermeer house with prints of his paintings, I got inspired and saw paintings in everything. This was the first place I went to afterwards. Great light, cosy atmosphere.

I made this one close to home, on the border of Rijswijk and The Hague. It was a cold day with just bits of sun breaking through now and then. The old shed has a beautiful color in the sunlight so that's what I captured first. The horse was posing for me for at least 10 minutes! I could finish it in the field. What a great day.

seascapes

Here are some seascape paintings I did recently. They finally dried. I like the abstract bits in it, with use of lots of paint, thanks to Roos Schuring who taught me how to do that!
