Free work

 
dated 2004 until 2007, react to the artist (click on an image to enlarge an artwork)

Zen & the art of snorkeling 2007		I felt the urge to paint my covergirl of 'Portraits of Bonaire Vol. 2' one time more. Only minor changes in form & color. But I left out the coastline & hills in the background.
Still life with grapes 2007		Before my murals fade into the air I wanted to capture this one again as a painting. I called it 'still life' because I painted it again from my still photography from 2003 and I approached my model as an object (sorry).
The sunset 2006		This is an improved remake on panel of a large mural that I did last year in The Tipsy Seagull Restaurant, Plaza Resort Bonaire.
Life as we know it 2007		Hard to catagorize: a well known antique sculpture/three trees/nudity?
Nitrogen narcosis 2004		Diving with tarpons...
Two worlds 2007		A study for a future mural of 6 x 8 meter.
Global warning 2007		One picture tells more than 1000 words... But 2 words add something to this painting...
'Island adrift' 2006		The title is a quotation of Captain Don's video about Bonaire.
'The Great Gig In The Sky' 2007		This scene will be used as an illustration on posters for the 3rd Bonaire Jazz Festival.
Stoned 2007		An experiment: something like Zen & the Art of Painting. It's not my best one, but I've learned something.
Stoned (detail) 2007		We are stardust.
Sorobon Beach 2005		The back of my wife Herma - first version.
Sorobon Beach (Yellow) 2005		Second version - different colors, different mood.
The Bonaire Feeling 2006		Sorobon Beach IV - definitive version on larger size.
Wrecks on Bonaire 2007		Look - no people!
Jackson Pollock 2007		Finally an abstract piece: my Jackson Pollock pants.
