Back at the Berkel
Back at my beloved BERKEL office! Not too long ago, I stood at my other spot and couldn’t go any further because of the huge fences. The white bridge was gone...
PLEIN AIR BLOG
Changing colors
It is my favorite season: the colors are changing, and there is so much to see and experience. I am also trying out this easel for painting my larger panoramas.
Perfect day
Wow, so much sunshine today and barely any wind, so I took the chance to paint near the coast. Creating panoramas of this size always requires the perfect conditions, and today was exactly that kind of day ;)
Little corner
It was warm and sunny, and at last I was able to paint in the “garden.” This little corner had been calling to me for a long time. While painting, I could hear tiny little movements all around me.
Bee hive
“Summertime” yes, it truly is. Today, this field was filled with the gentle hum of bees and other insects. Alongside the birdsong, it created such a beautiful, joyful sound.
River life
It's hot outside, but we found emidiately peace when we went back to the river again. The beautiful sun, dragonflies who were nipping on everything, a little breeze.
To paint outdoors
This blog is like a visual diary a space where I share a personal glimpse into my plein air creations and the inspirations that shape them. In nature is where my journey unfolds. It’s an endless exploration of delicate, fleeting moments that spark my imagination. Join me as we uncover the stories behind the art and celebrate the beauty of the process.
I regularly post new articles, so keep an eye on the blog for updates and new insights.

About materials
New Wave Art
I have been using the U.GO for several years now, and yes, I am still absolutely in love with this versatile and reliable box. Over time, I’ve grown to rely on all three sizes, and it really depends on how far I plan to walk or the size of the canvas or panel I intend to use that determines which one I choose to take with me for the day.
Rosemary and Co
"As a full-time plein air artist, I work in all weather conditions and seasons. My work is recognizable by the thick layers of paint and the firm brushstroke. So I have some demands on my painting gear and brushes that I would love to share with you!
Small U.G.O
Hike & Paint is perhaps the best way to stay fit, and with my new U.GO 6"x 8" (small) it is even more enjoyable! This handy, compact pochade box fits perfectly in a small backpack, together with all my drawing and painting supplies.
French easel
For my large plein air works, I have been using the Mabef M23 for years. This easel is strong, robust and ideal for use in various weather conditions. Thanks to its sturdy design and high-quality materials, I can continue painting even in strong winds.
