20.8.09Graffiti Train
Todays painting is the larger sized version of my daily painting Graffiti Train I did a while ago. The painting shows a woman waiting for her train at the central station of Zwolle. In the background you see a train covered with graffiti. Being an artist I always like to see trains like that. Imagine one of my artworks up there riding cross country through the Netherlands, that sure would be something!
It seems I'm getting back into my larger sized painting modus. I don't know why, but somehow it just feels good to do right now. I'm close to finishing a new one soon any day now! kind regards, Gerard Boersma  Graffiti Train G. Boersma acrylics on masonite 13.8" x 12" or 30,6 x 35 cm 2009 SOLD 
17.8.09Central Station - painting of central station at night
I still travel by train every now and then. Recently I came back late at night from a trip to Groningen. Usually the central station is quite busy, but at night there's hardly anyone. It makes the place look a little bit eerie, but still comfortable to me, because I was almost home. Todays painting gives a good sense of what I felt when I stepped out of the train.
The opening last saturday of the show Nieuwe Uitleenschatten in Groningen was huge succes. Although it was really warm that day a lot, and I mean a lot, of people showed up. The show itself was a pleasure to visit, great selection of work by great artists. If you haven't seen the show yet, you can do so until aug 28. kind regards, Gerard Boersma  Central Station G.

7.8.09Bakery - painting of couple at bakery on central station Amsterdam
On todays painting you see a couple looking for some nice treat at a bakery on central station in Amsterdam. I always love to paint those shops down at the station, the colors are usually stunning with all the glass and steel going on. Quite an unnatural environment, still the couple on my painting don't mind at all, they're just thinking about the joy of sharing something sweet together.

12.5.09Kiosk - Man Looking To Buy Something At Kiosk
I'm leaving my LA series for a minute to show you this scene from the Central Station in Amsterdam. A man is looking to buy something at a kiosk. He scratches his ear confused as he is by the many choices the kiosk offers.

21.5.08The Tram
In The Hague you got these nice trams with red and some kind of light brownish yellow which I love to paint. Near central station I saw this man waiting for his tram to show up. The one right in front of him isn't his, or if it is he better hurry and get in. The scene reminds me of my museum paintings, because of the abstract background and the window. Tomorrow the preview continues!

12.12.07The Tram
During my visit to The Hague I saw this man waiting at the tram-stop near central station. Obviously the tram right in front of him wasn't the one he was waiting for, but I saw him looking at the man inside. It was almost like he was looking at a painting in a museum and thought it was a beautiful motif for todays painting. I think it just might work on a larger size as well, let's find out!
kind regards, Gerard Boersma
