The pond in the Dunes #4 (under snow)

De Duinplas, Westduinpark DH #4 
 (opnieuw geschilderd met sneeuw)
oil on canvas - 80 x 120 cm
painted on location  - 05 Jan 2026

€ 1550

At the beginning of this month we finally got hit with a layer of snow that hung around for a few days! So I took advantage of the situation and thought it was time to rework a painting I had made 5 years prior (see image below), in the dunes that lead to the beach where I make most of my seascapes.  A fairly large painting, in inches 31.5" x 47".  I'm pleased with the balance of color, and the affect the snow has on the ground and water, which does a lot in harmonizing the scene.

Molen De Korenaer # 4, tijdens de Dickens Festival
oil on canvas - 50 x 100 cm
painted on location - 20 Dec 2025.and 17 Jan 2026

This grain mill which is still in use since it was built in 1721, forms part of a unique park in Loosduinen, The Hague. Maintained by the  'Culrureel Erfgoed Loosduinen', a cultural heritage foundation  The church the Abdijkerk, the that long low building (Loosduins Museum) and that white house all together make this one of the most picturesque locations in the area.  Is it any wonder why I'm dedicating a series to this subject.  Depicted in this painting is a scene of the market during the Charles Dickens Festival.

Grote Markt Square, The Hague.


Grotemarkt, Den Haag, s'winters.
oil on canvas - 24 x 30 cm
painted on location - 10 Nov 2025

€ 245

A very well known location in the center of The Hague. Filled with mostly cafes, pubs and night clubs. A favorite place to socialize and hang out for the young crowd, both local and visitors. It is decorated with a colorful ceramic sculptor of Haagse Harry, a  beloved character from a comic strip created by a local cartoonist. 

This small painting was made as a study for the larger (40 x 100 cm)  more detailed painting shown below, which I created in commission by a customer.
