Here you have the first and second attempt of this scene from this series. They were originally painted in 2025, but I felt the need to rework them, thus here you see the results..  The sky as you can see clearly defines the coloration of the Sea. Due to the sunny conditions, it was a little busier at the beach, thus the bicycles and that car.

A-a-a-h, the warm summer days are finally here!  I've depicted for the viewer the entrance to this beach  cafe and a view of the cafe itself. It's the start of a warm but windy day, most people choosing to stay on the terrace away from the wind. I didn't have that luxury, but I was lucky that I could set up my canvas in the same direction of the wind, thus allowing me to work in the open air. I love all the colors of the parasols and the objects around the terrace. The Sunlight hitting the cafe, causing shadows bring this scene to life. Of course all those kids and parents with the bikes the come to the beach with add a great accent to the scene. The wind force is shown by those flags flapping and the oncoming of a kite surfer..

It's always fun to work on paintings with this theme. Usually the kids come up to me and ask the most innocent naive questions.

The tide is low, the waves are gentle, the Sun is warm on the skin,  an ideal situation for Moms to take their children into the cool waters of the North Sea. Here I have re painted over a work I made earlier n in the season.

painted on location - 01 May 2026
 
€ 565
 
 
This was the first real beach day of the 2026 season. Temperature was very warm, hardly no wind to speak of, and people were actually using the parasols as to create some shade, instead of using them as wind breakers!

Sunny and windy beach scenes at Zuiderstrand, DH

 


Zonnig en winderig uitzicht vanaf DeStaat
oil on linen - 30 x 150 cm
painted on location - Sat 28 March 2026

€ 785

Dutch skies can be very lively this time of the year. The clouds come and go at the speed of a blink of the eye. Makes it challenging to render them on linen with oils. But one does his or her best and the outcome will be unique to the creator of the work made. Of course with cloudy skies, shadows from the overcast moving clouds are inevitable, thus as the result in this painting.  






Birds eye view of Zuiderstrand

Known as the quiet beach, this is the beach belonging to The Hague, which starts at Scheveningen harbor entrance and goes to the outskirts of Kijkduin, more or less what you see in the above painting. This time a nice peaceful scene, with calm and lazy waves gently caressing the beach.

Noordeinde Palace, The Hague

 


Paleis Noordeinde, Den Haag
oil on wood panel - 20 x 25 cm
painted on location - Thurs 5 March 2026

€ 275

Finally I get around to making a painting of this scenery. And it probably won't be the only work I make of it. A beautiful monumental building with that equestrian statue on the square facing it make for a lovely composition. 

Old Church, Delft

Oude Jan, Delft
oil on wood - 19 x 25 cm
painted on location - Thurs. 26 Feb 2026

SOLD

Revisited a favorite place to paint quaint Dutch scenery, that for me is in Delft. Not too small and surely not a big city. That makes it easy to get around in, on foot or with a bicycle. Of course the tilt of that bell tower makes this a well photographed and documented subject. 







 

Entrance to beach #9, South Beach, The Hague



Strand ingang #9, bij DeKwartel
oil on canvas - 25 x 70 cm
painted on location - Wed 25 Feb. 2026

€ 425

A nice warm and sunny day, in the winter! What else can one ask for? Not much if you ask me. Of course I like many other people made it a point to be close to the Sea. Only difference is I take my painting gear with me and paint the scene at hand.

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.

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

SOLD

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.
