GEZEG EN DE KUNST EXHIBIT
Late summer I’m going to have an exhibit in Belgium, its has been a very long time since I had this opportunity , this thanks to my friend Peter Bossu. The exhibition will feature Peter Bossu , Danny Hoorelbeke and myself. The location is the 16th Century church of Oeren in West Flanders. The church has a neo-gothic interior. There is a tomb from 1550 in the church. It was protected in 1939 and thoroughly restored in 1960.
The opening is Friday August 23 at 7PM and the exhibit runs till September 12.
I’ll keep a blog of the stories and encounters during my time in Belgium.
DRAWING #3 THE ROAD
The road to the craft of drawing.
I love to draw always have. For me it forms the basis of everything I do, ideas, memories , emotions all settle on paper. I begin and end my day with it and improve my skill as much as possible. At least I go life drawing once a week for a couple of hours. It is an essential part of being an artist.NR
LANDSCAPES #2 , documentary
The Documentary highlights my methods of working on my landscape paintings. The film is made by Carl ANDERSON. I was very fortunate that Carl followed me for about a year. At that time I was working on a specific landscape exhibition for the Delaplaine Art Center. All the paintings are of a large format and oil on canvas. You can see these works on my site under “ Oil on canvas, landscapes”.
