Busy last month: Indie game presentation, Vacation in Vienna, first lecture at the NHL University and the exhibition in the Gallery Berkendijkje in Beek en Donk. The last one alone will make for three updates here, so I’ll start with that. The exhibition was organized by the “Aquarellist Collective” – a group of water color artists.

The location was beautiful – a proper farm-house with lots of animals around. I wish I would have taken more pictures. And inside was the gallery, which was really nicely arranged. The lighting was excellent – rivaling museums.

The Aruba painting

The lighting - on the 'Federica' image.

Since my camera was nearly empty I also didn't take more pictures of the other art. It was all high quality. Lots of tricks to steal from these :).

And another one of mine.

The hospitality of the owners and other artists was amazing. Thanks again. Was great meeting all the artists there – talking about techniques and finds. I learned a lot in those two weekends.

Here the links to all the artists – the organizers were:

• Gerard Hendriks
• and Ger Zaagsma

And here is the list of the other participants alphabetically:

• Jos Antens
• Stefan Bleekrode
• Angelique v/d Hogen
• Mia Koeneman
• Jan Kooiman
• Ina Mieras
• Jan Pasteur
• Margo Pasman
• Margo v.Veghel
• Maroesja Lacunes

I had my own little showing outside – and I made portraits of visitors. A lot – so more on that in the upcoming two postings.

The first model. Thanks for posing.

This portrait of the owner was my meger payment for the stay - thanks again for the hospitality.

One more - the rest will follow in the next posts.
