Kyoto Machiya Project

October 25, 2012

A heads-up from Japan. I’ve spent the first week on the Kyoto Machiya Art-In-Residence program now, preparing for lots of paintings.

But … Continue reading Kyoto Machiya Project →

Noordwijk Festival II

July 9, 2012

Some more pictures from the Nordwijk Festival. This is the second painting I did outside there. Was kinda funny how it made all passersby shout “klaprozen” (Dutch for poppies) – I’ve heard the word 50 times that day. So named the picture this way. The original is sold, but I’ll create a limited number of … Continue reading Noordwijk Festival II →

14 days ago I’ve spent all week at the Noordwijk Painting Festival – getting up, painting, falling to sleep. Here are the first resulsts – more will come in the following two postings.
