Magical Delft Scenery 1

 

Pittoresk Delft 1

oil on linen - 40 x 50 cm

painted on location - 28.2.25 and 5.3.25

€ 585

Years ago I used to visit Delft quite regularly, making several works on location in small and medium formats, mostly oil paintings but also a variety of sketches in pastels, charcol and ink. It was with great pleasure for me to be back in this lovely quaint city. The location in this painting is actually very well known, it was even featured in a 1979 film by Werner Herzog, called Nosferatu - The Vampire, staring Klaus Kinski.  I was lucky to have this fantastic lighting available, which I noted  made itself available for a brief 20 to 30 minute period in the late afternoon.  

Scheveningen beach and harbour entrance

Rood havenlicht - Noordelijk Havenhoofd

oil on canvas - 30 x 60 cm

painted on location - 26.2.25 en 4.3.25

€ 450

A favorite location for many people living in Scheveningen. Not to mention the many fishermen that fish off of this massive harbor entrance protection wall. Of course like all harbors in Europe and worldwide I think the Northly arm has always a red light and colored in red. I like this location a lot, as I have painted several views off of it. 

Scheveningen strand Noord (voorjaar)

oil on canvas - 20 x30 cm

painted on location - Fri 25 Feb 2025

€ 235

Still early in the season, thus not really beach life weather. However was a nice day, with not much wind, thus I decided to give it a go. Will be visiting this location more frequently as I have an audience that has made it clear to me they want to see more paintings from this view point.
