I am drawing a lot these days. Big pieces, siberian chalk on paper. They are a part of a new series, called “On the extinction of species”.
This one is still in progress, but I can reveal a small detail. The whole drawing is 110 x 130 cm.

Drawing, 110 x 150 cm
Siberian chalk on paper
Making art is a matter of doing and reflect on what you’ve done. For 90 percent I know what I am doing. But it’s all about that 10 percent. And when the “not knowing part” becomes to big, it’s totally out of control. And the result will be a very bad painting.
On the other hand, when I control everything I do for a full 100 percent, I’m not able to surprise myself (and “the audience”). And the painting will only be interesting for I short moment. You really have to take your time, when in front of my work. Get to know the painting. Explore it.
On the origin of species X13
And the series is growing and growing. Probably in october, I will arrange a special exhibition in my studio, to show all the “Origin”paintings (eight are finished now).
I thought the title was well choosen. On the other hand; are my latest paintings really about the creation of the world, about life? Or is the theme more about a sort of putrefying and ephemerality? Just before everything dies, vanishes…… To capture that moment?
And does that matter? Or can the outcome, the paintings, be the same? Despite the different angles.
In the right corner below are three yellow organic forms.The top one is still bright. But the one at the bottom is already vanishing. Dying?
70 x 90 cm. Oil on canvas.
I am working on a new series of oilpaintings.
90 x 70 cm
First sketches, acrylic on paper
20 x 30 cm
For this month, the painting Evolution 1 is in the picture.
It’s an oilpainting, 120 x 150 cm. Later more information.
Recently I moved to a new studio. And instead of traveling 40 minutes, it only takes me 10 minutes now to get to my studio. Saves me a lot of time.
Therefore: OPEN HOUSE!
When: sunday 27th of september, from 12 -18 hrs
Where: Dovenetel 21, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands.
In the pictures below, I mixed a few photo’s a took in Germany.
It were pictures of landscapes and a picture of a tree-trunk (probably struck and split by lightning).
They look almost the same, but in the first one, the landscape and the clouds are more visible.
I am thinking of using these pictures as a starting point for my paintings. I prefer the second one. Because of the colors (the wood in the left corner), but also because this one almost looks like a painting itself. For instance the white horizontal “brush” stroke.
It’s only a starting point. It may well be, that the final painting is very, very different from the pictures I am showing you here.
