Many people ask me how everything is going with my new studio/gallery/house. So here is a little update.
It is surrounded by a typical Dutch landscape with green meadows and grazing cows and sheep. To blend in the landscape, the architecture is inspired by a Dutch farmhouse with modern elements and a lot of glass. My new studio is build like a typical hay barrack. These constructions were very common in the Netherlands and were/are used for storing hay on a farm. 
On the outside the building is almost finished, on the inside there’s still a lot to do. So it will take some time before I can work and live on this beautiful place. Probably next summer…; I can hardly wait :)

The ARTCARD collection of my work is extended. Now there are also cards available of the whole Delfts blue serie and the painting ‘Enervated’. Besides, there is a XL card of ‘Gracious’ (size 27 x 14,8 cm).

You can order the cards in my webshop (click on above image)

Maybe this is a very strange picture, but it makes me very happy. Because this will become my new place to work.
After a long time of preparations, the building is finally started. It will take a while before I can start painting in this new atelier. But in the end of next year, I hope to work overhere and enjoy the wide view over a typical Dutch landscape. I’m really looking forward to it…
