New work on the site!
Well! I have provided all the photos of smoke and drops with a nice text. It took me some time but the result is great, if I say so myself.
I have also uploaded a new video in the media section. I hope you will find the time and effort to watch it.
Oh yes, there are three new works on the webshop!

News in brief!
It's been a while since I wrote something on this blog, but here's some news again.
I'm going to replace some photos with other photos next week. The photos that are currently on the webshop will remain for sale, but I think it's time for something new. It will mainly be smoke photos that I'm replacing because I've been busy with that lately.
Due to circumstances, I don't have any exhibitions this year. I'm not sure if they will ever happen and since I can't see into the future....
I wish everyone a nice Easter weekend, next weekend. Enjoy it and perhaps with nice weather.

A happy new year!
Happy New Year everyone, with lots of happiness, love and health! I hope you all got through New Year's Eve in good health.
I started taking new smoke photos again. I was busy making Skull-Art but I wanted to start with smoke again.
This year (2025) I will be doing few or almost no exhibitions.
Well, have a good time and stay healthy!

Last exhibition
That's it for this year. No new exhibitions are planned for the time being. Maybe we will start again at the end of 2025. The one in Alphen Aan Den Rijn was the last one we can do for the time being due to health.
I started taking smoke photos again and put the Skull-Art 'On Hold' for a while.
In the meantime, I'll keep you posted on how things are going.

Art market and last expo
On September 8, I was at the art market in Hoorn (NH) together with friends. We got there early, around 9:00 am. Enough time to calmly put everything down. The market went well. Gave a lot of explanation about my work. It was a nice day with nice weather and many people showed interest.
On Thursday, September 12, I brought works to Alphen ad Rijn. There, together with other artists, the exhibition started. The official opening was on September 13, which I was unable to attend due to circumstances.
However, it will be the last exhibition I do for a while. Health problems is the underlying cause. Maybe it will come again, but sooner in 2025. This year Alphen ad Rijn will be the last.

Art In The Greenhouse
It was another experience. I was in Zwaag on Sunday June 30th. The "Greenhouse Summer Spectacle" was there then. Getting to know a lot of people. I was there with one of my works.
On Monday, July 1, we picked up the works at Hotel Molenhoek-Nijmegen. It was a very tiring journey, but everything is back in Hoorn and is now back in my small studio.
I'm downstairs doing all kinds of things. Wallpapering is being done, I am getting cupboards in my living room, painting is being done. There's a lot going on. Once that's done, we'll start working on the studio. Wallpapering is also done there. So if I don't hear from you for a few weeks, you know why.
Oh yes, we will not only be at the market in Hoorn (NH) with my smoke/drop photos, but a few Skull art photos will also be printed. Check the exhibition page for the time. For now, have a nice day and see you next time.

Skull Art page and other news
I'm proud to announce that we've created a Skull Art page! I am very proud of it. As I wrote before, I am currently working on making Skull photos and since they are pretty cool, we thought it would be an idea to also offer them on the webshop. But that is not everything! On this page you can also download photos for non-commercial use. They can be downloaded in PDF and PNG.
I can also report that the exhibition in Hotel Molenhoek-Nijmegen is in full swing. Everyone is free to go and have a look, even if you are not a hotel guest. The exhibition runs until July 1, 2024.
There is also a chance that we will be at the art market in Hoorn (NH) on September 8. I signed up for it and now I have to wait and see whether what I submitted is accepted. That's it for now! Nice day!

End of Enkhuizen exhibition plus other news
The exhibition in the Drommedaris in Enkhuizen is over! Last Thursday, March 7, 2023, we brought the works back to my house and stored them. Thank you very much to everyone who visited the exhibition and I hope you enjoyed the works.
We will now focus on the next exhibition, which will take place in Hotel Molenhoek-Nijmegen in Molenhoek. For the address I would like to refer you to the exhibition page. The exhibition will take place from May 1 to July 1, 2024.
In the meantime I am working on a completely different type of photos. I started to focus more on photos using a skull skeleton and other additional attributes. They are a bit different from the smoke photos and drip photos. I just felt like doing that! I will definitely take smoke photos again, but not right now.
That's it for now. Have a nice week/day!

Change of exhibition location
Goodmorning everybody!
Here is an update on 1 of the exhibitions. The exhibition in Hotel ARA in Zwijndrecht is cancelled. Instead we go to Hotel De Molenhoek-Nijmegen. The reason is that Hotel ARA is going to become a hotel for asylum seekers and they don't think it's a good idea to hang art there and I can't blame them. So Hotel De Molenhoek-Nijmegen is the place where my works will hang from May 1, 2024 to July 1, 2024. See the exhibition page for the address.
I'm also busy taking new smoke photos. It costs me a lot of money on incense but the photos turned out really beautiful. I spend almost all my time on it!
That's it for now!
I wish you a nice weekend and see you next time.
2024!
Goodmorning everybody! Happy new year!
Well, at least that's out of the way now. I haven't been sitting still the last few days, although I should have.
I've been busy taking new smoke photos and I have to say, it turned out pretty well! Today I will continue with it, although I should actually edit the photos from the last days. I decided to do a little more editing on my photos to make them look even better. I'll leave it open as to what I do about it. A magician does not tell the secret of his tricks! I have discovered a different way of photographing smoke, which allows me to take more beautiful and better photos. Again, I won't tell you how because then anyone can take those photos and I want to prevent that.
Well, and then the exhibition in Enkhuizen. This is still in full swing! The works then go to Zwijndrecht. Spend a day in Enkhuizen and visit the Drommedaris. For opening hours, go to drom.nl Like this!
That's it for now! Have a good time everyone and have a great year despite all the wars, floods, etc.
I plan not to let that affect my mood or anything else.
Until next time!

Happy holidays and a healthy 2024!
I wish you happy holidays and a healthy and fantastic 2024. My exhibition in the Drommedaris is in full swing. Go check it out, it's really worth it! I'm busy taking new photos and maybe they will hang in an exhibition soon. That's why I'm a bit late with a blog entry. Time passes quite quickly.
Have a good time!
