Detail Milkmaid


I don't know what it is about the Milkmaid by Vermeer, I just love that painting! The lighting, composition, subject matter, it all speaks to me. He was just an amazing painter!

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm quite satisfied with my version as well. It was pretty tricky to get the painting by Vermeer straight, especially since it's so small. It's only about 1- 1.5" or 3-4 cm in length. The head of the Milkmaid is only one fith of an ince or half a centimeter high. So yeah, that's small! You can imagine how great it felt when I actually finished that part. Hope you enjoy this one as well!

kind regards, Gerard

SOLD

Todays weather is a lot better, I actually could apply the paint with no trouble at all. Also bought a couple of new painting tubes and brushes today, which is always a pleasure. Nothing like some fresh new material to work with! I changed the Dr Pepper bottle for some Michelob Ultra beer. Enjoy!

SOLD

I sure could use some refreshment like the bottle of Dr. Pepper on my painting, it's so hot in my studio! I'm loving the weather but it's really troublesome to do some decent painting. The paint is drying like crazy, at times even before I can apply it. It's a nice excuse to take things slowly, but I do have a couple of paintings lined up for this week. I also started working on a larger scaled painting which is going to be a real beauty once finished. For now I hope you enjoy Dr. Pepper!

SOLD

I kind of rediscovered the 8" x 8" or 20 x 20 cm size. I like it, because it's still small, but it gives me enough room to get as realistic as I want, especially with the still life paintings. Todays painting shows my beloved theme of glass and Coca Cola.

After painting the beers recently I just had to paint me some chips to go with it as well. Todays painting shows a couple of classic family sized bags of Lay's chips. Just as Beer the painting is situated at an American supermarket, although it's hard to tell this time.

The Product 2- People On Escalator Ikea

Product 2

2010
SOLD

I sometimes use my small daily paintings as studies for my larger works, you know, just to see how it looks or just to try out something. Todays painting is just that, a study for my larger sized piece The Product I did a couple of weeks ago.

Before I started working on the larger sized piece I wanted to practice a little with all those different types of people on the escalator. Besides that I experimented with the composition. I like how you don't really see the escalator here, but after going back and forth I eventually went for a wider shot for my larger sized painting.

SOLD

During one of my shows in the US I visited the supermarket. On a shelf I saw this wonderful still life of bottles of beer. It reminded me of something Bender of Futurama once said: 'Ah beer, some many choices, and it makes so little difference.'

Another quote from Homer Simpson soon came to mind as well:'Ah, beer. The cause of and the solution to all of life's problems.' And by Homer as well:'Now there's a temporary solution.' Needless to say I had great fun painting this scene!
