The Chicken Waltz
Day 19 – January 19, 2019
I have a confession to make. Everytime I take a shower and wash my hair, I lose some. Just like everybody. But my hair is black and long, so it always looks like a lot. Because I don’t want to flush the hair away with the water, I collect it during shampooing and stick it to te bathroom wall (see picture). Yeah, I know, it sounds a bit weird, but he, that’s me.

This time I was looking at it and saw a dancing chicken, so I decided to take a picture of it and try to draw it. And to be honest, I liked it. After drawing, I used my Tombows to give it a little bit more ‘life’. I’m satisfied and will do this more often!

Noodlot
Day 10 – January 10, 2019
Acrylic paint, indian ink, and pencil on paper, 15×21 cm.
’Noodlot’ is the title of a Dutch book (literature) by Louis Couperus (1890) I read during my study of the Dutch language. It means ‘Fate’. The painting is based on the first sentence in the book: “His hands in the pockets, the collar of his fur coat up, Frank walked through the blowing snow, along the lonely Adelaide Road in the evening.” (Google translate Dutch-English, so don’t blame me for any mistakes).
First time I worked with acrylic paint. Because I’m not an experienced ‘real life’ artist, I followed an online class to learn how to draw lines of action. The first line I made was with a pencil. After that I took my dip pen and made some extra lines.

I kinda liked it, so I decided to give it some color with acrylic paint. That came out awful, because I don’t know anything about colors at all. It looked like a combination of Winnie the Pooh (colors) and Paddington Bear.

I wanted to throw it away in the garbage bin, but decided to put on a new layer of paint. And a new one. And… Well, finally it was finished.

And the horse you rode in on…

‘One image a day’-challenge starts tomorrow!
On the 1st of January, 2019 – tomorrow – my 365-challenge starts. This means I will produce one image a day: a drawing, a painting (probably not, didn’t ever do that before), a collage or a photograph. Or even a 3D-work, if possible.
The reason for this challenge? To try materials, to produce, to unblock, to ‘not being afraid to produce’, to create, to stop comparing my work with other works of art, to grow. To….
After one year I want to organize an exposition with 365 works. You’re all invited!

Thanks, mom!

I tried my new Tombow dual pencils. I really have to practice this more often. I used an artwork from Deb Weiers as an example because I like her style so much! Finally it doesn’t look anything like the beautiful original, but he, I was only trying my pencils!

Sense and sensibility
One of my award winning pictures I took nearby the Oostvaardersplassen in Almere (The Netherlands). It was at the end of a hot day and the butterfly was probably very exhausted. He didn’t even fly away when I came closer and closer. I took the shot and left.

OVP 1992
In 1992, 44 deer were brought to the Oostvaardersplassen, a fenced parc in Flevoland, The Netherlands. The experiment failed because population grew and finally more than 3,300 deer, horses and cattle starved to death because they couldn’t migrate. A black page in The Big Book of this country.
Drama is still going on, now they’ve decided to kill most of the deer, instead of moving them (which was an option, but it costed more money).
