25.8.08The Bus-Stop
Today painting is slightly reminiscent of a painting called The Bus I did earlier this year. That painting showed the front of the bus, I now concentrated on the back of it with two men waiting for their bus to show up. I can tell you it was quite difficult to get all the reflections in the window just right, but I think I managed it quite well.
There's still some time left to send in your motiviations for my special birthday action where you can win my painting Holy Water or The Bull, please click here for more information: special birthday action Last but not least, I've got a one man show coming up real soon at Galerie Van Den Berg in my hometown Leeuwarden. More info follows! kind regards, Gerard Boersma 
26.5.08The Rest
My open studio was great! It's always very exciting for me, but luckily a lot of people showed up and there was never a dull moment. My first guests arrived early in the morning and the last ones left late in the evening, way after official closing time. I'm completely worn out today, but I feel so blessed! Painting can be a lonely profession and I therefore especially appreciate all the feedback from everybody. I got a lot of possitive comments not only on the art, but on the frames as well. I'm defenitely thinking about offering the frames as an additional option for my daily paintings. Thank you so much!
As you can imagine I couldn't find the time to post any new paintings this weekend, but I'm back in my studio now fully motivated and happy to be painting again. Between all the preparations for my open studio last week I managed to make this second version of my larger sized painting The Rest. Although I might not share his religious believes I have great respect for the man on my painting. In the midst of all the noise and liveliness of New York, the man still finds time to sit down to read his book and take a rest. He's waiting for the bus to show up to take him away to a better place. Leaving all the troubles of the city behind him. I for one could take a rest myself, but really painting is my own little escape and that's exaclty what I would do if I had a week off! kind regards, Gerard Boersma 
22.3.08The Bus-Stop
The weather is quite bad over here, lots of rain and wet snow, but at times the sun breaks through. And when it does you get these great scenes like this woman waiting for her bus to show up. I just had to paint it!
I also finished a commissioned double portrait today. I cannot tell you right now by who it was commissioned or which persons I painted. It will spoil the surprise when the couple receive their portraits tomorrow. I cannot wait to hear their reaction and I will put the portrait online as soon as I can! kind regards, Gerard Boersma
