The Corner

Well here it is, the larger sized painting I talked about last week. It took me about a month to complete. The scene reminded me of my own childhood when nothing was more important than a couple of blocks with wheels on it. As you grow older you get all these responsibilities and things aren't always that easy. The painting shows it can be that simple at times. The scene is situated at the Ikea-store.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Toy

I recently became an uncle again! My brother Frank and his girlfriend Dinah are the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy called Lars.

I was in a toy-shop looking to buy a present for my new born nephew when I saw this gun. I couldn't believe how real it looked. I remember saying to myself: 'Do we really want our children to play with guns?' I don't know if it's right for children or not, but then again I wish more adults would pick up guns like these to play with. My nephew got a good old teddy bear by the way!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Children

I'm back from my vacation in Valencia, Spain! Me and my girlfriend Esther enjoyed all the good stuff the city has to offer. I especially liked the Spanish cuisine and the city of art and science. This masterpiece of architecture by Valencians own Calatrava are a must see when you visit the city! Ah well, it's back to painting again.

The Children started out as a study for a larger sized painting, but I liked it so much that I decided to finish it. It reminded me of my own childhood when nothing was more important than a couple of blocks with wheels on it. As you grow older you get all these responsibilities and things aren't always that easy. The painting shows it can be that simple at times.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
