Photographs of a landscape (often a marshland area) form the basis for paintings such as *Bruuk Groesbeek*, *Bruuk Kranenburg*, and the *Overasseltse* or *Haterse Vennen*. The execution is abstract. Pigments are bound with an acrylic binder and/or casein (water-based), and the painting is finished with a varnish (containing a UV filter). I took the photographs myself.

Abstract landscapes on paper—think of mountain ranges, marshes, deserts, and plains—centered on the horizon, the dividing line between earth and sky. The paint consists of water-based pigments bound with an acrylic binder and/or casein. A final coat of varnish is often applied, which also provides protection against UV radiation.

20 paintings featuring an impressionist landscape inspired by a photograph of the Overasseltse or Haterse Vennen. The photograph dates from September 2024. Pigment (with acrylic binder and water) on special paper, 48×36 cm – finished with a varnish. The final paintings allude to the dark end of Vincent van Gogh’s life; the brown (Van Dyck brown) occupies a larger area.
