The Sea and the beach, The Hague's top location.

Sailing in the Sunset
oil on canvas - 50 x 40 cm
painted on location - 6 June 2024

SOLD

Here you have an example of a painting I had made about two years earlier, but was not content with the overall look of that work. So the canvas was just shelved until I took it off the shelve and on to the easel at the same location. The result of the 2nd attempt is what you see in this posting.




The Quite Beach, The Hague

Arrived at the beach nice and early to create this scene. Actually I was on location to further develop the painting shown just below this one. The crowds still not at the beach, so whilst waiting, I was lucky enough to have this canvas ready to be painted on. . 


Cool fun on a hot day at the beach,

Summer is finally here, people have dropped whatever it is they were doing, packed up their beach gear, and off they went to enjoy the overwhelming warm temperatures at the beach. The cool breezes coming off the fresh cold North Sea water is actually much appreciated. Today at this location, next painting I'll be set up with my feet in the water! 




 

Fishing at The North Sea


Vissen op de Noordzee
Oil on canvas - 15 x 30 cm
painted on location - 4 June 2024

€ 245

Off the southern harbor head, close the green harbor light, you can always find, men casting their fishing rods into the waters of The North Sea. It is a good place to go, as you get far enough out from the coastline without having to be on a boat. I have painted on many occasions off the harbor head or as they say in Dutch havenhoofd. usually depicting various views of the Sea. I particularly like the color range in this little painting, warm and cool greens in a delicate balance..
