Commission, Doetinchem, Holland.

Just a little commission and although I don't like to paint

these kind of new buildings that much, it was great fun.

 

"De Huet." Doetinchem, Holland.

Oil on panel. 24 x 30 cm.

 

Grey, grey, grey and some grey with grey.

Although Richard Schmid once told he liked grey weather because

the light is just what you need as a plein air painter, cool with a colour

perspective just as it should be and lots of time because the light isn't

changing that much, ... he right about it all the way except that after

a few days (I'll reckon a week now) it's becoming very VERY dull,

no contrast now sparkle no nothing just grey light, ....

 

Ow well it's good practice.
 

 

"Zoo grijs." Doetinchem, Holland.

(Soo grey!) Oil on panel. 24 x 30 cm.

 

 

"Grijs bos." Doetinchem, Holland.

(Grey forrest.) Oil on panel. 24 x 30 cm.

 

"Grey world." Westervoort, Holland.

Forgot my turp today, which isn't that convenient when

painting in the floodplains of the Rhine, especially not when

you should have cleaned your palette a long time ago.

But it's a nice practice on the other hand, to paint thicker

letting the paint do it's work and shape your brush the way

you want. Together with the fact that it was still quite an

high tide (all melt- and rainwater from Germany) and being

in the place where I lived for more then 20 years it was

just a lovely time.

 

"Grijze Wereld." Westervoort, Holland.

(Grey World.) Oil on panel. 24 x 30 cm.

 

"Grey path." Doetinchem, Holland.

Somehow I like those grey days, together with lots of rain

it tends to get very VERY soaking wet around here which

causes lots of reflections in these kinds of pathways, ...

 

My bike is thinking completely different about this I'll guess.

 

the other thing I like to experiment with now a days it the

vertical size, its still the same size but it looks more evident.

 

"Grijs pad." Doetinchem, Holland.

(Grey path.) Oil on panel. 24 x 30 cm.

 

 

 

"Grey start" Doetinchem, Holland.

 

Wishing everyone a marvelous and healthy

2013!!

 

This started off with a very grey day, but ended marvellously sunny.

 

I really have to take more panels with me!
