One of my favourite photos I've ever made - I love the contrast of scale between the fly and the flower, the colours, the water droplets 📷 #photography #macrophotography #macro

Sometimes a scene unfolds before your eyes. Being ready helps!

A few reasons why I love Patagonia!

#bluesky #photography #landscape #travel #nature #sunset #landscapephotography #naturephotography #sunrise #scape
Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia! Although the wind was screaming in my ears, it was a scene of serenity & breathtaking majesty as the Cuernos del Paine lit up in magnificent light. Light I had never witnessed in my years of exploring Patagonia. After several attempts over a period of 6 years, patience finally paid off. For an all too brief moment, Argentinian Patagonia's vast, breathtaking Perito Moreno glacier is dressed in the most beautiful light! Deep in the mountains, there is a world of untold beauty. It changes in matters of seconds, never to be repeated. Capture it, preserve it for eternity, share with those who haven't witnessed. Patagonia, Chile.

Not sure why I like this photo so much - the textures, I think. Perhaps the feeling of going somewhere as well. #photography #macrophotography #zip #suitcase #texture

Don't have much time to make new photographs at the moment, so thought I'd share some of my favourites from my archives. Starting with a theme of macro, and this close-up of a water crown. #photography #macro #water

Ooooh important photo anniversary! One of my favourite photos from #Iceland - totally processed, but sometimes you have to. Happy Anniversary to the horse with the amazing mane!
A very harsh black and white photo of a horse profile with a completely black background. The horse has a pale mane, swept over one ear, with a white stripe down its nose. The outline of the horse's nose is just visible. Photo taken on a very dull, miserable and windy day.

With this painting, I’ve tried to explore the influence that words have on our thoughts in the context of a particular detrimental thought pattern known as black-and-white thinking. See and read more at my blog here: forartssake.art/2024/12/17/b... #art #painting #mentalhealth #blackandwhite

With this painting, I’ve tried to explore the influence that words have in black-and-white thinking and to depict the mismatch between our thoughts and reality when we’re caught in this…

A Bit of Impressionism This graphite pencil drawing ‘Den Haag – Nassaulaan – 01-05-24’ is a bit of impressionism. For no particular reason I always associate this season with impressionist paintings and drawings of landscapes. Get yourself outdoors you’d say and sketch. Usually, during this time of year I already would have made some. However, it’s been raining quite heavily since Spring arrived but it’s getting better all the time. The weather is starting to improve here in The Netherlands. Soon I’ll be back out there drawing in a camping chair somewhere. Nassaulaan As to the drawing at hand I have to disappoint you. It’s not made at the very spot. There was this small exhibition ‘Children of The Hague School’ in Panorama Mesdag I intended to visit. That was a couple of weeks back and it was such a day you couldn’t decide to wear a coat or not. At the Mauritskade I decided to go for a little detour and turn right on the Nassaulaan. There was this see through with a little canal between two big mansions. I took some picture and got to the exhibition. I always like these combinations of human-made structures and nature. It gives context and contrast. Not a Certain Style Lately I haven’t got the cubist feel as explained in my last one, called ‘Reclining Nude after Breitner – 27-04-24’. It made me realize I have a couple of distint styles differing from eachother. There’s Roundism, my own view on surrealism and this typical hatched strokes impressionistic style. Maybe even more. Not long ago an art critic advised me to stick with one certain style. Personally, I think that’s quite an American or commercial way of looking at things. She might be even right on this one but I feel different. What I certainly didn’t plan is to have an art carreer like many artists out there. Perhaps it’s also because I don’t want to be labelled and categorized. What I always wanted is to have a certain meta-recognition throughout all of my works. Do you think I succeed in doing so?
