If I am not working on a commission, I paint, as it is called, “free work”. This can be on many subjects. Often I go out with my painting stuff and find a nice spot outside to capture a beautiful view. Along the coast in the winter, in the countryside in the summer, every subject has its charm. A bridge, a canal, lakes, the colors of summer … Painting outside, “rain – or shine” (preferably dry, cold does not really matter) is a great passion. I set off with a blank canvas and come back with a view, a beautiful place, on canvas. This gives a very deep satisfaction. This is what I love to do!

In my studio I work with great pleasure on a painting with flowers from still life, or a painting based on a photo. I regularly work on a series for an exhibition in a gallery. A series that I’ve worked on in the past with great satisfaction, was the 13 western style paintings of cowboys and horses. I could also do a series of snowy landscapes, which are also fine to do in my studio, even when there’s no snow outside. The space of ​​my studio is lovely and inspiring, with a beautiful skylight.

A commission painting can be based on a picture for reference, but also on location. If the client prefers a spontaneous “fast” work, painting on location is a very good option. For a more detailed work I’d better work in the studio. In my studio I have all the supplies at hand and there are better circumstances for a larger canvas. I have experienced that clients find that I work quickly, and that the quality meets expectations, or – I mention proudly – often exceeds expectations. In the reviews . you can read comments on my work. It is my goal that the customer is completely satisfied. That’s what I’ll do anything for.
