A Painting A Day Postcard from Holland is a project, in which I intend to paint a small ('postcard-size') oil painting each day, and post it to this blog. I will depict everyday objects, local fruits and dutch landscapes. In this way I hope to give visitors a day-to-day impression of my life as an artist in Holland.
Today this still life with pear, painted to test the light in my new studio in the Bottel-street in Nijmegen. (Painted on request...)
Still life with pear, 13x18 cm.

Went plein air painting again yesterday, with fellow artist Rene. We chose the old 'Commanderie van Sint Jan' (1196) as a location. We picked a view wich was lit from behind, so the foreground looked rather cool in color. When I viewed the painting this morning though, it lookt rather warm in color. Probably the light outside was rather cool, influencing the judgement of colors in my painting. Hitting the right color in outside-light is still difficult for me.
