Gallery Vlierhove in "artist village' Blaricum, Netherlands has recently published an impressive book. Creative work of more than 200 expositions are shown since the start in 1986. Happy that I could contribute and be part of this group. And of course, special thanks to this special gallery.

The idea behind this new and extra large painting is to let the flowers just move into your room. The flowers which are completely and deliberately out of proportion are making a step forward and welcome you. Acrylic on linen, size 55-43 inch/140-110 cm.

Friday, October 2, I happily presented one of my Nosybirds paintings named “Sun Encounters” to Mariëlle Bartholomeus who has just been awarded with the Top Woman 2020 titel  (“Topvrouw 2020”). As a medical director and neurologist at Bernhoven Hospital in Oss/Uden, Mariëlle has been instrumental in leading her team through the first outbreak of Covid-19 in the south of the Netherlands. The motto of this painting is sun spreading rays of light, energy and  positivity all very much needed in times of crisis and sorrows.  Plenty reasons to hand this canvas to her!

This animated, simple sketch of Art of Nosybirds wants to tell about perspective. One perspective is looking at lots of (new) perspectives. It came to me in a period of time where many changes seem to accelerate due to Covid 19.
