Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy € 250
Details
After a very busy and stressfull period in my life I am so glad to be able to paint again. I searched during the making of this painting for a new balance to be found. The making of Kuan Yin offered me precious hours of concentration, accompanied with this wonderful happy feeling of satisfaction. Now I am ready for the next step in life, let's celebrate!

This is the first part of my new diptych, being two small canvas boards, 30 x 30 x 4 cm, with a close up detail from the heart of my dear and beloved Tulip. Some people called it an "almost erotical" painting, I think that's a wonderful compliment, ain't nature beautiful?

Tulip - All heart € 125

So here's the fourth one in my Tulips series small, painted with all my heart, so the title was born just in the easy way! This heart could be the heart from a moonlight tulip, regarding the colors. This small canvas of 20 x 20 cm has a black frame. Picture of the framed work is shown again in the photobook at this website. Painting small canvasses still is having great fun for me, so the next one is coming up!

Tulips VII € 650
Details

This is the seventh one in the serie of Tulip paintings. For the first time I dared to paint in some abstract way! The stalks without petals seem to look XXXL on this very long size of canvas. Although these tulips are still to recognise as real tulips I am very proud of this first "Abstract"!

Tulip small purple € Private Collection
Details
Never painted such a small one before,24x30 cm canvas. This one is a little present for my mother. I painted it during our family weekend in the hills of the beautiful Ardennen in Belgium, where we celebrated her 80st birthday!
It was fun making it; with that small size even I can finish in 2 days! It was a great weekend and great fun painting this little one! She's very happy with this birthday present.

Tulips yellow € 300

Tulips VI € 650
Details
This is the sixth one in my Tulip range. I painted this one to replace Tulips II, because that one is in Ankara. Now I can use this one for my first exhibition, the "regionale kunstdag" in Rotterdam at May 9, 2010. Tulips still keep me inspired so maybe I will start number VII one of these days..

Tulips V € Private collection
Details
So this is number five in the range of Tulips, and rather difficult to paint because of the white color. Inspiration was a photo I found at the world wide web, thanks to Sabine S, who permitted me to use her beautiful picture for painting inspiration. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fms-sabine/)

Tulips IV € 550
Details

This painting gave me another experience with colors and light, finally I am satisfied with the result, because I wanted to put the light coming out from the background. Tulips in general are still fascinating me, so I am ready for the next one, number V, looking forward to a new challenge!

Tulips I € Private Collection
Details

This is the first one of the many paintings in the range of Tulips to follow.

This one I painted with a very large brush, difficult for someone like me, because I am very keen with small, smaller, smallest details. The photo unfortunately is a bit overexposed, probably I am a better painter than a photographer!

This painting is not for sale, I keep this one in my own livingroom because it's the first one out of many Tulips paintings to follow!

Triptych Giraffe € 750
Details
My first triptych. A new experience and rather a special challenge to create three separate subjects and to make one of them. Colors must fit too. I feel satisfied about the result. Wildlife animals always intrigue me, so do giraffes, aren't they impressive with their enormous height and elegance?
Productnummer: Canvas 3 x 40 x 50 cm / Acrylic / June 2009


Giraffe € part of triptych
Details
This is one and the first painting in a set of 3. It's painted in acryl. I am very fond of wildlife animals. I think giraffes look tender and soft, they are very elegant, just love them!
