Today I headed to Tyler State Park, popular with families, dog walkers, bicyclists, and fisherman. The Neshaminy creek is particularly pretty at this location, where it's dammed for canoeing and has a shallow waterfall. Hilly terrain provides a variety of perspectives and the paths through farm and woods are shared by the occasional horse back rider. Today it was as pretty and peaceful as it sounds, and hopefully appears in this painting. The farms are leased and there is also a hostel and covered bridge in the park

It's been a while since my last update. I've been mad busy completing a couple of larger scaled paintings. I've got 5 lined up and ready to be posted, including my odd painting with 17 selfportraits. The first one however is this lovely scene in the Jopie Huisman Museum.

As you might know I'm currently showing with my great-uncle Jopie at Museum de Andere Kant, the place where the Jopie Huisman Museum first started out back in the 80s. At a quiet moment just minutes before the opening I asked his son Jacob, one of the guys organizing the show, if he would be ever so kind to pose for me. He willingly accepted and here it is: Jacob enjoying the painting Rood Baaien Hemd by his dad in the Jopie Huisman Museum. He loved it and I sure hope you do too!

In other news, like last year I've been invited to the 2nd round of the Royal Prize for Painters, a painting competition held each year by our Queen Beatrix. This monday I've got to bring 2 paintings to Sotheby's in Amsterdam where the jury gathers to judge this years entries.

Next wednesday I hear if I made it through this round. Last year I didn't, but I'm hoping things will be better this year around. It would be pretty cool if I did, because you get to show your work at the Queen's Palace in Amsterdam and you get to meet the Queen too. I'm thinking about bringing my portrait of Geert Wilders with Muslims, but I'm not sure which other work to bring yet. Any suggestions?


kind regards, Gerard

Between earth and sky - by Cristina Dalla Valentina

Between earth and sky
watercolor on paper
13,4" x 19,3"



Here the protagonist is the sky, but also that tiny tree in the greenery, lonely and almost lost in the immensity of the landscape.
But he shouldn't arouse in you feelings of sadness, or a sense of abandonment.
He, actually, is happy and delighted to be there, between the earth and the sky, to enjoy the warmth of the sun and the caress of the wind.

_______
I'm an artist from Verona, Italy.
In my paintings I transfer the emotions and the feelings aroused by the life around me. Among my favorite subjects are people, landscapes of cities and countryside, trees, skies. The observation of reality first passes through my camera lens, then from the contemplation of colors and shapes, to finally express itself in the play of the watercolor on the paper.
Painting is like looking me in the mirror and seeing who I am: I live to paint, and I paint to live...

Portrait of M. - by Cristina Dalla Valentina

Portrait of M.
watercolor on paper
13,8" x 11,4"

My friend is very beautiful, isn't she?
This is the portrait that she required me: and I hope I have done her justice at least a bit...

Fractured by Ria Hills

16" x 16" acrylic painting
surface - stretched canvas
(unframed and ready to hang)

Another painting in the Alzheimer's portrait series, but I will be not using this one for the planned show. My hope is that the residents and their families will be able to attend. I'll paint her entire face for that reason.
It's fascinating that although many 'blocks' of their lives may be misplaced or missing, that each person, depending on the severity of the illness, maintains much of her/his personality. Yes, as the disease progresses the fade increases and physical problems become more acute, yet each person remains unique.
I read about a study which showed how important it is to visit loved ones in nursing homes. The study found that even though they might not remember your visit an hour later (for some five minutes), the effects of the time spent together remains for hours past their actual memory of the visit.

Lighthouse at Harry's Cove, landscape, seascape painting by Kirk Witmer

Daily Painting for June 27 - 6x8" - oil on archival panel
Click on the image to bid on this painting

Many years ago an artist uncle of mine gave me a miniature (about 3x4") painting that he'd done and I've treasured it ever since. We've lost touch in recent years, but I thought of him when I had no idea this morning what I would paint for my daily and decided to let him inspire me. This painting is quite different than his but it's a spin off from his lighthouse on the bluff scene. I wonder if he's still alive. I'll have to try to reconnect. Thanks for your help, Harry.

8" x 6"
oil on canvas board

The first rays of the morning sun, no matter where they land, seem to say, "it's a new day and anything is possible".  When they hit a treasured part of the garden it is especially lovely and, because the flowers are so ephemeral, a little poignant at the same time.
