30.6.11Father & Son- Jacob enjoying his dads painting Rood Baaien Hemd Father and Son A few years later I painted over Jacob in favor of a self portrait It's been a while since my last update. I've been mad busy completing a couple of larger scaled paintings. I've got 5 lined up and ready to be posted, including my odd painting with 17 selfportraits. The first one however is this lovely scene in the Jopie Huisman Museum.

11.4.11Jubileum Expositie Jopie Huisman Museum De Andere Kant just before the crowd arrived I wanted to post something about the opening of my show with my great-uncle Jopie Huisman yesterday, but I needed a whole day to recover. What a day it has been! So many people showed up! I don't have any exact numbers, but I've been told that over 500 people attended the openings ceremony!  Opening speech by cousin Joop and son Jacob It all started at the Jopie Huisman Museum where cousin Joop and son Jacob made their opening speech. Those guys are something else. They never organized a show before, let alone one of this size and magnitude, but they did it anyway. And how! They talked about their trips cross country meeting all the people who owned one or more works by Jopie. Without those proud owners the show would have been impossible! Jacob and Joop collected over 150 works by my great-uncle, most of these paintings and drawings were never shown to the public before.  Former Provincial Governor of Friesland Ed Nijpels, Jopie's first wife Elly and me painting After the speeches the whole crowd had to move across the street to hear Ed Nijpels speak. Together with Jopie's first wife Elly and me we painted a black and white version of the selfportrait of Jopie as an original way to open the show.  Ed Nijpels declares the show open for all  My showroom upstairs Of course you could find me upstairs in my own showroom. I enjoyed talking to everybody and I got loads of positive responses. Some of the people I talked to turned out to be distant relatives whom I never had the pleasure of meeting before. I heard so many stories about Jopie as well that my head is still spinning!  Needless to say I had a wonderful time and I would like to thank Jacob and Joop again for inviting me to show and everybody else who made this show possible! I'm going to take things easy today and slowly getting back to painting. In the near future I will be painting at the show, dates are to be announced! kind regards, Gerard Jubileum Expositie Jopie Huisman Museum De Andere Kant april 10 - nov 6 It Noard 5 Workum 
8.4.11The Meeting- Selfportrait with Selfportrait Jopie Huisman The Meeting Selfportrait with Selfportrait Jopie Huisman G. Boersma acrylics on masonite 23.6" x 23.6" or 60 x 60 cm 2011 Sold Yes, yes I know! I wouldn't post any larger scaled paintings here, but I wanted to make an exception for The Meeting! The painting is a center piece for the show with my late great-uncle Jopie Huisman which opens tomorrow at 14.00h. The painting is very dear to me as it shows me enjoying the famous selfportrait by Jopie in his own museum, so you could say it's a selfportrait within a selportrait. More background info on this piece can be found on my other blog. Today I went to the museum once more for the final details. We're all set for the big day tomorrow! It's going to be huge. I heard they even close the road in front of the museum for all trafic, they expect that many people. I sure hope they all show up! Ed Nijpels, former Provincial Governor of Friesland for Queen Beatrix, opens the show tomorrow by finishing a black and white version of the selfportrait by Jopie I made especially for the occasion. I'm going to assist him. At least that's the plan, I don't think he even knows about that one yet:) I'm sure it's going to be lots of fun! Well, I'm going to get a good night sleep, so I'm fully charged up for tomorrow. I sure hope to see you there and otherwise I'm going to tell you all about it right here on my blog! kind regards, Gerard PS I'm sooo sorry if you got my shoe paintings again, I mixed up things! It should be okay now! webshop
8.8.09Classic Art: The Huisman family
Recently Marieke van der Veen wrote an article about me and my painting family entitled 'Classic Art: The Huisman family'. As you might of heard I'm a relative to Jopie Huisman, famous for painting highly detailed old raggs which are on permanent display at his own museum.
The article shows some outstanding works by Jopie and by my other painting relatives Gerrit Wijngaarden and Grietje Huisman. I believe it's the first time I actually see a selection of our works published together in one article. It makes me very proud to be part of such a talented family! Thank you Marieke for writing it. You can read the article in English here kind regards, Gerard Boersma 
7.6.09The 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  The Head-Lights G.

24.4.08The Wheelbarrow
Two women are looking at a painting of a wheelbarrow by my relative Jopie Huisman in his own museum. For me Jopie also has been somewhat of a wheelbarrow, he's one of my favourite painters and indirectly inspired me to paint in the first place. At times I wish he could have seen my works, but unfortunately he died before I picked up painting professionally. Luckily his paintings are there for all to see!
Today Laura Sweet wrote an article on her blog 'If it's hip, it's here' about artists who paint people admiring art. She was kind enough to include some of my paintings, you can read the article here Tomorrow me and my girlfriend are going away for a couple of days to Hamburg. I'm really looking forward to my short vacation. So no paintings next week, but I'll be back in full effect on monday the 5th of may! kind regards, Gerard Boersma 
7.4.08My Dad and Great-Grandfather
I don't think a lot of painters can walk into a museum and see there great-grandfather hanging on a wall. That's exactly what this is though.
On my painting you see my father looking at a painting of his grandfather by Jopie Huisman. To make it even more complicated, Jopie is my dad's uncle and the brother of my grandmother and Jopie painted his own father here. That's a lot of family right there in one painting. The scene is taken from a visit to the Jopie Huisman Museum in Workum. I'm defenitely going to make a larger size version of this for my own pleasure. kind regards, Gerard Boersma
