70x100cm PAPER: BRETONS IN GUÉMENÉ SUR SCORFF

After 15 years: a charcoal drawing (prepared with several acryllic colours) on paper. A lot of water is added to the paint so the drawing looks a little like an aquarel. Subject: resting Bretons (musiciens and dancers of Kerlenn Pondi) in Guémené sur Scorff, La Fête de L'Andouille.

DAAN, THE CHANTERHERO (DE CHANTERHELD)

Many years ago, it was a warm sunny day, a little boy played the bagpipes at De Grote Markt in Haarlem. He was standing there all alone on this big square playing his beautiful biniou without any fear.

I added a biniou-player on Bretons au Champ de Tulipes to honour Daan (só many years later) and all bagpipe-players.

DEN HAAG MAURITSHUIS: JAN STEEN & REMBRANDT

Het Mauritshuis owns several important paintings of Jan Steen a.o.: 'As the Old sing, so Pipe the Young' and 'The life of Man'. Because I started a painting after Jan Steen ('The Drinker') it would have been great to see it in reality but that is impossible. Jan Steen's birth weight ( just like my husband's) was 11 pounds. Looking at Jan's hands on this painting, I think that they are rather small. Our Steen's have big, strong hands and feet.

CHOOSING VINCENT & JAN: JO BONGER

'Choosing Vincent' in the Van Gogh Museum is not only an exhibition about doubt and triumph but also a tribute to Jo Bonger, Vincent's sister-in-law. Because I own several little 60 years old books published by Vincent Willem van Gogh (Vincent's neveu), the family-pictures and diaries were very interesting. And of course the Nabis paintings made in our beloved Bretagne where I had an exhibition in La Chapelle Notre Dame de La Paix au Pouldu. I wish all our Breton friends (Morbihan, Finistère and Côte d'Armor) could see these Breton paintings (peintures de Breizh) in Amsterdam.

JAN STEEN IN FRANS HALS MUSEUM HAARLEM

After four hours of painting in the Studio (in the centre of my native city) I visited the Frans Hals Museum , which is just 2 minutes away on my 🚴 , to see and study The Quack of Jan Steen. It is astonishing, how much is happening on Jan's painting (Dutch life) in the 17th century.
