On one of my walks through the city at night I passed by this parking sign. Behind it are some more cctv camera's pointed at everybody and no one in particular. It turned out to be a nice moody painting, I like that.

These windmills are so common in the Netherlands. Some like them, others don't. I just thought it would be a wonderful object to paint.

It's impossible to walk into a bookstore and not see the face of Steve Jobs. His biography is everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens to Whitney Houston. It's such a strange phenomena that I just had to paint it.

In the corner of the bookstore I spotted these two friends. Whenever I look at a book like this it never cease to amaze me how one's life can be reduced to a small pile of paper. It tells the whole story, but then again the story isn't the same as the person.

I jokingly entitled this painting of a book about Magritte after one of his most famous paintings of a pipe. However, on the cover here you see his work Tree With Crescent Moon. On the right you a book about Kirchner, the expressionist painter.

Somehow people often compare my works to that of Edward Hopper. I feel honored they do so and I thought it would be fun to create a bookshelf painting with a book about Hopper at its center. A detail of his best known painting Nighthawks is on the cover.

This painting combines two things I love doing most in life: reading and painting.

In the center of this bookshelf you see a book about one of my favorite artists Johannes Vermeer. His Milkmaid is on the cover. You can view a detail picture of it below.

The museum show in Joure looks great! I spent the latter of the day decorating, it always takes more time than I anticipate. Fortunately, the museum people were just great. They assisted me along the way and I like to thank them for it! I'll post a couple of pics soon!

kind regards, Gerard

please keep in mind that the actual size of Vermeer's Milkmaid is about the same as that of a post stamp

This is the last still life painting of a shoe for now. Starting tomorrow I'm going to concentrate on my other beloved subjects.

Later today I'm going to Joure to decorate my solo show at Museum Joure. I'm not sure yet which paintings to bring, but it's going to be a lot. I'm excited about showing my work at this wonderful museum and cannot wait to get started! The show runs from feb. 11 - april 15. I'll keep you posted!
