Yes my Dear friends, I have decided to embark on a new theme. Following in the footsteps of The Haagse School (an art movement in The Hague - 19th century) I Have decided to depict the most famous scenery of this lovely city, the capitol of Holland. And what better location to start, but at the very spot were this city actually started building from. The building on the left, shows a section of our Nations Government Office called the Binnenhof. As I am making minimal references to things of the 21 century, a scene like this could actually transport you back in time. My approach is however definitely modern, laying the paint on quite thick, not at all like the masters of the Golden Age. There will be more paintings from this corner of the city coming, already the third is complete and ready for the next posting!
