House of the Animals
2 September 2022
For over a year I had been thinking about using the Villers-la-Ville Abbey, founded in 1146, as the main theme for a painting.
After site visits, notes and photos, I have now started working on this painting.
The intention is to get a lot of movement in this piece through the composition and the animals.
Given the imposing abbey, I opted for a larger format so that the whole scene makes impact.
In the above photo you can see that I apply the first layer of oil paint.
To be continued...
When you cross a pelican with a hummingbird, there is a good chance that you will get this result...
After painting the architecture I can start painting the animals.

All aboard!
Very soon this painting will sail to Galerie Honingen in Gouda, where it will participate in the 25th anniversary exhibition.

I made this painting 'Porcelain Boat' some years ago.
It still hangs in my studio and after all these years I still find it a fascinating work in terms of subject and color.
The frames used then were different from the frames I currently use. By the way, these frames are sold out and no longer available.
