I paint what I see, mostly from life. My work is loose and realistic . Subjects are close to me and my farm; people around me, animals and Dutch landscapes.
Message
When I was at the Loire river for an exhibition, my hosts took me to meet a farmer and her draught mare with foal. Incredible how big and solid the foal was, compared to the Friesian foals I’ve painted before. And the calm, reassured strength of the mother. A memory of utter peacefulness in a French field, in the evening sun.
