Sweeper- Man cleaning in front of restaurant 6 x 6"

Yesterday Omrop Fryslan dropped by to film and interview me about the LA Art Show. The item airs this sunday at 17.30h and is repeated every hour all sunday evening. The item shows new footage combined with old footage from the New York-documentary. I cannot wait to see it! After the filming I had to bring my paintings to Joure where I show my work at the Gemeentehuis Skasterlan from dec 6 - feb 1.

So I had a busy day yesterday and it felt really good to back in my studio again for some painting. Although it only has been a couple of days I felt it was long overdue. On todays painting you see a nice old fellow sweeping the tiles in front of his restaurant. I just love the lighting, it makes lovely deep shadows, I'm especially fond of the red on the left. I believe the restaurant is ltalian. In any case it's located at the Utrechtsestraat in Amsterdam, very near Gallery Rudolfv where I showed my last month.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Brand new website and special offer

If you have been wondering why I'm not posting daily, well I have been hard at work building a brand new homepage. I felt I could use a new look for a while now and finally did so with the help of my friend and fellow artist Alexander Russchen of Art-Oddities.com. I designed the lay-out and he helped me a lot with the technical side. Thank you Alexander!

The content on www.gerardboersma.nl is about the same, but the paintings are way larger than before. A lot of people complained about the small thumbnails and you were all right. The larger images do my art justice. Feel free to share your comments or suggestions. I'm looking forward hearing from you.

Just to celebrate I got a special offer today for my painting Savoy. For just 100,- euro you can be the proud new owner! All you got to do is email me if you're interested. The painting goes to the first emailer, hopefully it's you!

In other news, tomorrow broadcaster Omrop Fryslan will interview me about the LA Art Show. An item on television will follow soon. Tomorrow I also got to bring my paintings to Joure for my solo-show in the Gemeentehuis. I'll be back this thursday with a brand new painting!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

Savoy

One of the nicest restaurants in New York has to be Savoy. Located in Soho, the place is well known for its food and warm interior like the fire place, but I decided to paint the exterior. You see a man walking by and another one checking out the menu. The painting is a bit more loose than usual, at times a painting just asks for this approach and I'm very glad I did so!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Restaurant

What could be better than enjoying a good meal with friends. That's exactly what the figures on my painting are doing. I think they have been talking all night long. The painting is the latest in my series of paintings about Japan
