Video: Me, Me, Me!

New Video: Me, Me, Me!

As you know by now I'm pretty busy creating commissioned paintings, but Jasper Noordermeer and myself did manage to find some time to shoot a new video. This time around you hear me, me, me talking about my painting Me, Me, Me! Sure hope you enjoy this short clip as much as we did creating it!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

This is a commissioned portrait I did of Jojanneke. As you can see she's expecting a baby and her parents asked me if I could capture this important moment in her life. Of course I would!

Jojanneke specifically indicated that she liked light colors, meaning I had to paint it a little different then I'm used to. Layer after layer went into this painting, I'm guessing at least 20 or so. That's how the colors turned out to be so bright, I like it! I also really like the way she's looking at us, so confident and proud!

I'm also still working on other commissioned paintings and I'm able to show you those very soon. So you can expect more updates soon!

It's been quiet on my blog for a while now, but believe me: I'm working like crazy. I just completed 2 larger paintings and I'm working on commissioned paintings as well. I can't show you these paintings just yet, because it will spoil the surprise for my collectors.

My daily paintings recently sold out and I won't be making new ones untill I can free up some time. This might take a while, but as soon as I get opportunity I jump right on it.

I already managed to find time to paint this lovely still life of art books about Peter Paul Rubens. The kid in the center is Nicholaas, Rubens' son. It's extremely difficult to paint a drawing, not to mention one by the master himself, but great fun too.

I really love painting those still life paintings of art books. It gives me a change to explore my art within art theme a little further and encourage people to pick up a book too. Sure hope you enjoy this painting as much as I did creating it!

kind regards, Gerard
