Het is een bijzondere kans om elkaar te ontmoeten.
Ik zou het heel leuk vinden als je langskomt. Zie ik je daar!

De pers van @eemland1 was over de vloer bij de expositie 'dromen en visioenen' voor een interview en sfeerbeelden. Erg leuk om over mijn werk en het verhaal er achter te vertellen. Volgende week de uitzending!

I’m very happy with the result
It captures exactly the tone and atmosphere I was looking for.

Today I visited re-art to have my latest painting scanned and colour proofing. This is in preparation for an new series of limited edition art prints.
Really great to work with them.
More news soon

Isn't it a cutie? A whole world with its own story, captured in a mini painting measuring just 10x10cm.
This miniature was sold before it was even finished! But the good news is that it is available as a limited edition art giclée.

This intriguing drawing shows a prominent red armchair that appears to be floating in the middle of a vast, gray waterscape. The background is dominated by a threatening, overcast sky, adding to the desolate atmosphere. Surrounding the armchair are various objects half submerged in water, such as books and bottles, giving the impression of an overflowing beach. Artist Peter van Oostzanen

- And then the tide turned -
This is really one of those ideas that pops into your head out of nowhere.
Now on view at Galleri Kunstlade Gjøl

The drawing shows a lighthouse on a small island in the sea, with a red and white striped pattern and a bright yellow light shining. In the foreground is a person in a hat looking at the lighthouse, while a blue car and a small rowboat stand on the beach. The drawing is detailed and has a calm, gray background that highlights the lighthouse and its surroundings.

This painting shows the old hotel, a narrow, building with blue shutters and the text “HOTEL DE LA PLAGE” on the facade. In front of the hotel, a Citroën 2CV is parked on the sand surrounded by grass and a vast beach. Behind the building you can see the sea under a soft purple-yellow sky. The scene has a nostalgic and serene feel to it, as if time has stood still.

- More out of time _
With this watercolour, I am referring on a painting I had made before. It was still my wish to make a watercolour version of it too.

De foto toont een schilderij getiteld "American Dream" van Peter van Oostzanen. Het is een hyperrealistisch werk met een oude, roestige rode auto die verlaten in een weelderig groen, glooiend landschap staat. De auto, een klassiek Amerikaans model, is deels overwoekerd door het gras en de motorkap is open of ontbreekt, wat een gevoel van verval en verwaarlozing oproept. De lucht is helderblauw met nauwelijks wolken, wat een contrast vormt met de verweerde staat van de auto. Het geheel straalt een melancholische sfeer uit.

'What has become of the American dream'
De kredietcrisis van 2008 was de inspiratie voor mijn schilderij:
Het schilderij is al lang verkocht. Maar goed nieuws? Er zijn limited edition giclée art prints van dit werk beschikbaar bij #MicksArt !

The theme where a man wants to reach a cloud with a ladder keeps circling in my head. I am apparently not done with it yet.

New night atmosphere, or dusk?
"As night sets in". Although it may look like a night painting, I wanted to capture precisely that magical twilight in which the street lights awaken against the still light evening sky. #eveninglight #artist #painting #atmosphere #lightgame #petervanoostzanen
