Something different than my recent still life painting today. Todays painting is the larger sized version of my daily painting I did a while ago of an auction at Sotheby's. The painting on the right is by Cezanne. I especially like the coloring and atmosphere, it looks just very classy to me.

Another take on yesterdays painting of an auction taking place at Sotheby's. This time I focused more on the assistant and the Cezanne painting next to him. I really love the colors in this one, the greenish blues and all the different tones of red and browns just make this painting look so classy to me. Of course the art, suit and gloves add to this as well.

Sotheby's - Painting Of Auctionhouse With A Cezanne Being Auctioned

Sotheby's

G. Boersma
acrylics on masonite

2010
SOLD

You know how it is when you find a brand new subject to paint? Everything is still open and possibilities just seem endless. I feel that way about my new auction series, there still is a lot of ground to break and to me that's very exciting as a painter. On todays painting you see auctioner Tobias Meyer taking bids at an auction at Sotheby's. An assistant is standing next to the auctioned painting by Cezanne.

Another take on the telephone bids theme at auctionhouse Christie's. I love the simple setting and the dramatic lighting. One of these days I'll make a larger sized version of this theme, not sure yet about the composition, it still needs some work, but I will get there.

As yesterdays painting todays painting shows a scene at an auctionhouse. At Sotheby's we see an assistant holding up a painting. This piece shows a large soap bubble. It's another take on my painting 'The Art Bubble' I did a while ago.

Todays paintings shows a couple of workers at auctionhouse Christie's taking bids by phone during a frantic auction.

I've been concentrating on smaller sized paintings again recently and I must say I'm really having fun with it. So much that I'm picking up my dailies for the time being. I have been going back and forth about returning to ebay and finally decide to do so. I couldn't come up with a more suitable painting than todays.

kind regards, Gerard

Amero - Painting Of Auctionhouse Christie's

Todays painting is situated at auctionhouse Christie's. Usually the room is jampacked with people, but now there's not a soul in sight. The auctioneer isn't there and the seats are empty. All you see is the desk of the auctioneer and a partial view of the screen with currency conversions.

If you take a closer look at this screen you might notice a very strange currency called Amero. For a while now I hear all these wild rumours going around about the Amero being the replacement currency of the dollar, valid in Canada, US and Mexico only.

Not sure if there's any truth in these rumours, but I thought it would be a cool thing to make a painting with the Amero in it. If the Amero ever sees the light of day people might wonder how on earth I knew about it in 2010.

kind regards, Gerard

The Auction - Painting Of Art Auction At Christie's

In addition to the Art Bubble which is situated at Sotheby's I now painted The Auction at the other great auctionhouse Christie's.

Instead of showing the actual painting being auctioned you now see the lot number with conversions to other valuta in the background. Painting all those letters and numbers was quite hard to do I might add, it made me dizzy from time to time! The image shows them a little bit crooked, I haven't got a clue why, but believe me they're straighter than 6'o clock.

I like that the action takes place outside the painting, we cannot see who's actually bidding, we only see the auctioneer and some audience members looking at something outside the painting. The dramatic lighting really adds to this mystery.

If you take a closer look though, you'll probably notice that something is off. I'm going to be a tease right now not telling you what it is! But, if you're the first who guesses it right, I'll give you a free signed postcard with a painting of mine on it. Feel free to post your guesses in the comments!

kind regards, Gerard
