Exhibition

Todays painting is inspired by my visit to the exhibition of Felix Vallotton in the Kunsthalle in Hamburg. I love the lighting with the backfigures and that strange little corner, sure hope you enjoy it as much as I did painting it!

Museum Bench

While visiting the Kunsthalle in Hamburg I noticed these two ladies taking a rest and enjoying the view in the impressionist room. And an impressive view it is! You can see Manets painting Nana on the background.

As you might have heard already this friday my one man show opens at Galerie van den Bergh in my hometown Leeuwarden. The gallery is located in the Beurs, a passage to our public library. Besides my urban landscapes I will also show some paintings with the theme library and bookstores. Later this week I will post two new paintings which I especially painted for this occasion. For show details please click here.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Nose

Rembrandt once said that a painting is there to look at, not to smell it, meaning a painting is best viewed at a small distance. Somehow like the man on my painting I always love to take a close look myself. Studying the techniques and brushwork can be very illuminating. The paintings on my painting are by Van Gogh as seen in his museum in Amsterdam. If you would like to bid on this painting please click here to place your bid.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Landscape

The paintings I love best by Vincent van Gogh are his landscapes. Those are usually very colourful, bright and just plain beautiful. The man on my painting is looking at one of them and it sure was great fun to paint! If you would like to have this blogpainting just click on the link beneath the painting to place your bid. You'll receive the painting safely packaged after a week up to days after the auction ends.

In other news I'm busy framing my paintings for my upcoming one man show at Galerie Van den Berg in my hometown Leeuwarden. It's going to be a good one, I can tell you. There's still time left to enter my special birthday action. Next week the winners will be announced!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
