The 16th annual LA Art Show showcases over 100 prominent galleries from around the globe showing a dazzling array of art from old masters to cutting edge contemporary artists.

Library

It's been a while since I last posted here, that's because I've been mad busy painting Library. On the painting you see a young woman looking for books at the library in my hometown. Getting the lighting straight was quite difficult, especially the blues and whites on the right. Of course painting all the books wasn't easy neither! All in all I think I did a good job here and I sure hope you enjoy Library as well.

In other news I had a blast at the recent opening of my solo show at Artemisia. Peter de Haan, editor of the book Famous Frisians in America had a great talk about my art and even collected comments about my art from all over the world! People from Senegal, China, South Africa, India, America, France and other countries all responded positively to my works which was really flattering. Peter even stressed the fact that somebody should organize an duo-exhibition of me and Edward Hopper. How about that!

In addition to my solo show my works will be represented by Amstel Gallery at the Afordable Art Fair from oct 29 - nov 1 at Gashouder, Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. For more information about the fair please click here

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Young Ladies - Painting of woman looking at art 9.9" x 8.7"

This morning I felt like doing another museum scene for todays painting. The young woman is looking at 'Young ladies on the beach' by Théo Rysselberghe (1862-1926) . This Belgium painter is one of the most important figures in the field of Neo-impressionism and introduced the pointillist technique of Seurat and Signac in Belgium. It was quite a challenge for me to paint an impressionist painting, the colors are completely different from what I usually use! I thought the contrast between young ladies early 20th century and a young lady from our day and age is quite interesting. The painting is situated at The Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
