 Comment
on Bright Interval at Dordrecht:The large landscape of Dordrecht is very, very beautiful. The sky is stupendous. I believe all the rich Dordrechteans will be fighting for it. It will be sold on the opening day. |

 Comment
on Amadu:I love the work of this Dutch painter. This drawing shows how a highlight can be created on a white surface with only a minimal line separating the highlight from the background. The eye must do the work! |

| Apart from techical
virtuosity which is more or less a result of intense work and training,
I think it is one big feature that characterizes your work no matter
what you paint. It is love. You love what you paint, and probably
you love what you see or rather only want to see what you can love
as well. It is the love you feel and paint that touches the heart
of the viewer. And this is beyond subject matter and technique and
distinguishes your art from all others that only excel in virtuosity
and craftmanship. God bless you. Werner |

 A
week or so ago I posted about our visit with the Amsterdam Bloggers
to Prinseneisland. To illustrate the post I used a wonderful painting
of the bridge onto the island by the Dutch figurative painter Frans
Koppelaar. In doing so I neglected to give him picture credit - something
I normally do either under the picture, with link, or at the bottom
of the post. Menheer Koppelaar was kind enough to put a polite note in comments about my lapse, rather than, as some might have done, immediately sending an unmpleasant 'cease and desist' letter. He is as graceful as his paintings and I urge you to go and see them if you'd like to see what Amsterdam actually looks like to those of us that live here. I haven't seen a contemporary painter yet that I think depicts it so well. |

charmée par le style de vos peintures. Je connais les Pays

sensations intactes rien qu'en regardant vos toiles. Vous avez le
tallent extraordinaire de rendre la beauté et l'esprit vivant
sur une toile. Faites vous des toiles à partir de photo ? Je serai très honorée de vous lire. Bravo. |
