Times Square

Another great night scene in New York. This time the painting is situated at Times Square. The paintings shows a little bit more buildings than usual, but that's because the whole place is heavy lightened, which is a blast to paint. I painted this one with my upcoming show in New York in mind. At this point I'm not sure which ones to bring so we'll see how that goes.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Guardian

I didn't think I wouldn't finish The Guardian today, but I did! On the painting you see an attendent in front of Venus and Adonis done by Simon Vouet in 1642 as seen in the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

Adonis holding his spear is ready to leave his beloved Venus to be off to the hunt. Venus, the goddess of love, touches his shoulder, imploring him not to go. My attendant is guarding this scene and in doing so he's the guardian of love as well.

For now I'm going to keep up the painting a week method I seem to have developed these last couple of weeks. Not sure if that's wise financially, but I'm having way too much fun painting these scenes. Have a great weekend!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Concentrating on larger work this week

If you have been following my blog lately you know that I'm painting for a show coming up in New York in september. I still need a couple of more larger sized paintings for the show or at least to pick from. I'm therefore concentrating on this. At this moment I'm painting a large museum scene. I hope to complete this piece by the end of the week, but I'm not sure if I can. If not it will appear on monday the latest.

kind regards, Gerard

Hot Dog

A bit earlier than expected, but today I completed Hot Dog. Like Slow Traffic this painting will be shown at my upcoming show in New York. Still cannot tell you much about this show, but that will change soon enough. For now I hope you enjoy Hot Dog!

Slow Traffic

Last friday the groupshow Back from NY & LA opened at Amstel Gallery. And what an opening it was!

Petra of Amstel Gallery told me on the phone she had a special location arranged for this show, not that far from the gallery itself. At first I didn't thought much of it, but when I walked in it really blew me away! The space is truly amazing and the art is well, just topnotch! It kind of reminded me of the large galleries you see in New York.

A huge crowd showed up when the show was about to open. Manuela Kemp did an excellent job opening it. I enjoyed talking to everybody and we ended a perfect evening with a couple of sales. The show still runs untill the end of this week. If you have a change to visit the show please don't hesitate to do so. I never say this, but this one truly is a must see!

In other news in september I got a show coming up in New York. At this point I cannot tell you much about it, but it's going to be really special. Todays painting Slow Traffic is going to be part of it. It's the larger sized version of a daily painting I did a while ago. I take the rest of the week to paint another larger sized painting, also for the NY show. With a bit of luck I can finish this one friday.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Head-Lights

Like I said yesterday, I tried to get a cab over and over again. This one didn't stop either. I bought a metrocard on the spot and went for the subway. Despite my bad experiences with cabs I still had great fun painting this, especially the lights are always a pleasure.

It's museum-weekend, which means a lot of museums in the Netherlands are open for free this saturday and sunday. Today I went to the museum of my relative Jopie Huisman with my father and mother. Walking through the museum brought back a lot of memories to my dad. I heard stories I haven't heard before. It's also very strange that so many visitors come to see the portraits by Jopie of my great grandfather and mother. It makes me very proud and I think there are a couple of paintings coming up situated at the Jopie Huisman Museum.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
