I was inspired by the untidy natural entrance to the beach. Normally it is clean of the sand, thus cars and trucks could drive down the concrete plates to the beach to delivery goods and such. We have been having stormy weather lately, so you can see for yourself that the sand gets blown around and starts to form dunes in a matter of days. Of course the seagulls love to be tossed around by the wind, thus had to include them blowing about.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49-J1siN5PpppwQWSUwFSz_oRzGPA1hvTpVtyohW1iSQmTk6zdSUVeHKog_fHVMCCm2Xu2a72SyJ0jhY4C-YQcUOkMKSYyqPXvyxnqbFnErnDd9gYhkxUt-F3Ov3eJrFWswRcT4sFBQeDuG4PTqFR0rw2A8NqDCENtKCVH5AY58MtK2DXADNmO05OaAc5/s1280/IMG_1029%20(1280x854).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="854" data-original-width="1280" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi49-J1siN5PpppwQWSUwFSz_oRzGPA1hvTpVtyohW1iSQmTk6zdSUVeHKog_fHVMCCm2Xu2a72SyJ0jhY4C-YQcUOkMKSYyqPXvyxnqbFnErnDd9gYhkxUt-F3Ov3eJrFWswRcT4sFBQeDuG4PTqFR0rw2A8NqDCENtKCVH5AY58MtK2DXADNmO05OaAc5/w434-h286/IMG_1029%20(1280x854).jpg" width="434" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">A windy seascape</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">oil on canvas - 20 x 30 cm</div><div style="text-align: left;">painted on location - 16 Sept 2023</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">€ 250</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Made this near the end of the summer last year, for some reason forgot to publish it on my blog.

A simple composition, sky and water, with the details showing some variation in movement, of the clouds for example.

I can keep my 3m parasol stored at this cafe, thus saving me the inconvenience of taking it back and forth. The first version was a commission that I made with pleasure, in fact liked it so much I decided to make another one shortly there after thus #2 came about. As you can see there are a lot of similarities, however composition differs upon close observation.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.albertovalentini.nl </div>alberto valentinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15225947600647492633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069333412725069052.post-8769953833993947812023-10-05T13:27:00.005+02:002023-11-25T08:37:23.282+01:00The sitting Sun over the quite beach<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZPZzldOvhD9_hC1Lx1dUzAWPPU-lNJzc3tCVYKZnzYqL6CEu-VQ6kMH5WmG-ZvdlCrgsJRmVknPm7KaAMxKVBpcFV6EJpIwHwG0zWyyJcP0S00p1WgMc4tYgbFyUHKZsIz_7vbP_J7p3Gp4XuZXEsyAHq3HvPTigYIRXGxpG3iuUWKP2r_6F4LXEX5eF3/s3792/IMG_0883%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1873" data-original-width="3792" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZPZzldOvhD9_hC1Lx1dUzAWPPU-lNJzc3tCVYKZnzYqL6CEu-VQ6kMH5WmG-ZvdlCrgsJRmVknPm7KaAMxKVBpcFV6EJpIwHwG0zWyyJcP0S00p1WgMc4tYgbFyUHKZsIz_7vbP_J7p3Gp4XuZXEsyAHq3HvPTigYIRXGxpG3iuUWKP2r_6F4LXEX5eF3/w640-h316/IMG_0883%20(1).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Zonondergang over de stillestrand,</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">oil on canvas - 50 x 100cm</div><div style="text-align: left;">painted on location - 28 Aug 2023</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">SO</span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">D</span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ir's amazing what one actually sees when one takes the time to really observe the North Sea. The colors in the sky, the reflections on the water, and the hovering clouds. Summer is coming to an end, this shows up in my painting by the ever present spectacular cloud formations. Which was indeed my inspiration for creating this painting. Everything changes so fast at this time of the evening, there really is no time to waste, and working from memory is necessary.</div><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.albertovalentini.nl </div>alberto valentinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15225947600647492633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069333412725069052.post-41594201886982601572023-09-12T14:04:00.006+02:002023-12-29T16:07:09.202+01:00South Beach, the quite beach, the nicest beach 5 times<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Featured is a typical fisherman's boat with its vibrant colors Also noteworthy is the view of Stromboli on the far left, with its ever present cloud(s) hanging over the peak. This because it is an active volcano, spouting its fiery ashes and rocks and trembling the whole island, about every 24 minutes of the day, non stop all the time. As the winds had been strong due to local stormy weather, the wave action is wonderful to paint.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiABE7mDtXbbrPFTDc-h7KhV9p4jO1hCMR1jh9K1-xyzHYpk6E3yW1tjjv9oEbttcKzqR0ouaxU2nZg9jNSI-ikJXed7Rm1tPq4B83WFO8Im93uP1-UYoCMohAQ3WcTZ6cBMWPsa0OyhQzBG-UKD9tBijAaoCtnyYUayyz-hYCSpWjYonXc2HsTOfcSfj21/s1280/IMG_0708%20(1280x625).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="1280" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiABE7mDtXbbrPFTDc-h7KhV9p4jO1hCMR1jh9K1-xyzHYpk6E3yW1tjjv9oEbttcKzqR0ouaxU2nZg9jNSI-ikJXed7Rm1tPq4B83WFO8Im93uP1-UYoCMohAQ3WcTZ6cBMWPsa0OyhQzBG-UKD9tBijAaoCtnyYUayyz-hYCSpWjYonXc2HsTOfcSfj21/w640-h312/IMG_0708%20(1280x625).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">View of Lisca Bianca and Dattilo during high winds </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">oil on canvas - 15 x 30 cm</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">painted on location - 14 May 2023</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">€ 650</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I had to take cover as during the making of this painting water was pouring from the sky off and on the whole time.

A perfect location to let your pet dog blow off his or her energy.

The play of light helps in creating a balanced composition.

The flora in the dunes is also rich with colors, again thanks to the Sunlight. I also picked and chose which of the many sign poles are at this location, basically I eliminated about half of them. </div><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.albertovalentini.nl </div>alberto valentinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15225947600647492633noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069333412725069052.post-84537635936007530752022-09-26T16:48:00.006+02:002023-12-29T16:08:46.395+01:00 Sailing on The North Sea<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFYFdvZRKOS-VxFJMvjulGqZF0vFp7fqUNSn3tAn6pi9IkP5YRkocUTpBfJY1XXZIioNYihFij5wwEPy-WJe6uH8nZ5SRMZ4q_Xwi4xOkncpk3UFmJrxhzpqA1_OdpOK2hsBe5iEM0vAZ3nZ0cygK82jbmAy4l-uDlorijtyG-y3uNBSuWNsblElciA/s4164/IMG_0495.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="4164" height="96" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFYFdvZRKOS-VxFJMvjulGqZF0vFp7fqUNSn3tAn6pi9IkP5YRkocUTpBfJY1XXZIioNYihFij5wwEPy-WJe6uH8nZ5SRMZ4q_Xwi4xOkncpk3UFmJrxhzpqA1_OdpOK2hsBe5iEM0vAZ3nZ0cygK82jbmAy4l-uDlorijtyG-y3uNBSuWNsblElciA/w640-h96/IMG_0495.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Zeilen op de Noordzee</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">oil on canvas - 18 x 115 cm</div><div style="text-align: left;">painted on location & in the studio - Sept 2022</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">SO</span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">D</span></i></div><br /><p></p><p>I decided to freshen up, in the studio, a painting I made on location in Aug 2018.

This is the second time I paint this charming three master Tall ship, a true classic. As a plein air painter she is a lovely subject to work from. The light was perfect, casting shadows here and there, allowing me to observe all those juicy details, like the reflections on the calm water. </div><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">www.albertovalentini.nl </div>alberto valentinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15225947600647492633noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069333412725069052.post-45899332627795820422022-09-22T15:28:00.002+02:002023-06-25T15:44:40.845+02:00Catamaran Club House, The Hague <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gbh3uwbzPLSjXMiwqPB0hznyiHD9DAXDpMPnfece9BxZhShsTqycfEj1oA5Ct6gK2N13apIB-3S880nM1ncG5j4uobkCNf6uo4RjOHb7cVoGvZn40DRB3OBjsxJlb93xJ0_EuRc8GrtDPK5xiILX-6Tfh3jf68TP7tJZ7lVZIAMkM1b9gLzxtHACTQ/s2678/IMG_0490.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2678" data-original-width="2669" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gbh3uwbzPLSjXMiwqPB0hznyiHD9DAXDpMPnfece9BxZhShsTqycfEj1oA5Ct6gK2N13apIB-3S880nM1ncG5j4uobkCNf6uo4RjOHb7cVoGvZn40DRB3OBjsxJlb93xJ0_EuRc8GrtDPK5xiILX-6Tfh3jf68TP7tJZ7lVZIAMkM1b9gLzxtHACTQ/w638-h640/IMG_0490.JPG" width="638" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>HKZV clubhouse, Zuiderstrand, DH</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">oil on canvas - 60 x 60 cm</div><div style="text-align: left;">painted on location - 31 Aug 2022 </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">SO</span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">D</span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm so glad to have this object to paint at the beach.
