My kids asked me to make paintings for a childrensbook. Of course I cannot dissapoint them, so I started with these 5 paintings. Actually it is a nice thing to do for a change. So on with the next one!

The only problem will be the writing of a story... Volonteers can send me a mail.

Last sunday we (my wife and my "not so hiking eager" kids) took a walk near the dunes of Ouddorp. With the mud up to our ears we went home satisfied.

I'm not happy with the final result and it was quite a struggle, but its only fair to show it to you. When I see guys like jon Hoglum do it, it looks so simple.

All I can do is practise, practise, practise, practise ...

Yesterday I went for a walk with my kids at the Slikken van Flakkee. My son´s trip mission; finding a pellet. We thoroughly investigated the ground around each pole in this swampy area.
Finaly we found three of them... So, now he is very eager to pick this "owls puke" to find out what was on the menu. Yummy!!!

And this is the painting of the trip I'm working on.

The blood bank exhibition

2010-01-07T17:22:00.004+01:00

For three months my paintings will be show at the local blood bank. Hopefully they are a good distraction for people with thick needle fear.

Getting ready

2010-01-05T20:42:00.004+01:00

Next Thursday a show starts at the local blood bank. Tonight I have selected the paintings I want to exhibit. I´m curious how it will look because I´ve not seen the exhibition space yet.

Finally finished

2010-01-02T10:47:00.004+01:00

It took a while for me to finish this autumn painting, but I finally succeeded. So, sorry for this autumn scene during winter time.
