Roses 1953, Still-life
Although, because of the influence in my studies, my forms were leaning toward cubism, this Still-life is a testimony of understanding and loving painterly, impressionistic qualities with a dimensional appearance. Oil on laminated card board / 48 cm x 34 cm / 1953
Subject Enclosed
Must leave it to the viewer to feel if anything encloses anything. ? Oil on Canvas / 76.2 x 55.8 cm / 1960
Gothic Architecture
In the thirteenth and fourteenth Century,the builders made it their task to reach the heavens, as well as it became a Christian spiritual journey in Europe. My emphasis in this painting is the harmony of various forms that rise vertically into the sky. Oil on Canvas / 66.0 x 40.6 cm / 1960
North of Sixty / 91
First version of the merciless, secluded landscape along the sixty meridian arc. Oil on canvas / 40.6 x 55.8 cm / 1991

Impromptu
Over ten years ago, amidst painting representational for a decade, I sketched lines that would begin at any edge of the page, change direction, and overlap many times in different directions, in a non-conflicting way. By creating areas of different shapes and sizes, it was intriguing no matter how many times I did this exercise […]
Gravity in Fall Season
A different take on autumn when all growth that reached toward the sky will return to earth. Oil on canvas / 76.2 x 91.4 cm / 1996
Tribute to Rembrandt
In the original, Rembrandt painted his son, reading. In my version however, I was trying to capture the essence of what made this painter so different from other painters. My tribute to Rembrandt is not meant as a copy of the original with his skill in technique or observation but, although in an semi-abstract manner, to emphasize the mystery and depth he […]
Buttercup / 1948
For a change, inspired by A. Dürer, here is my Version of natures’ delicate growth. This is a print from a “cold needle etching” / 1948
Roses in Vase
This is my last more detailed representational painting for the next twenty years. Oil on canvas board / 45cm x 40cm / 1958
Jeanine and Joseph
To some extent an old style Self-portrait with pallet + brush, yet with a living room setting and a window facing the garden. A strange choice was to have my wife behind me in a picture on the wall, as if it was someone not anymore around. Indeed, like a premonition, a year later she […]

Coming home from work, a welcome reception from my family. The warm glow of domestic peace. Oil on Canvas / 71 cm x 81 cm / 1964 / Sold.
Urban Architecture
My own design of a modern structure newly arisen in cities during this time. The slightly leaning vertical in the building is a hint of its vulnerability over time. As to the method of Hard Edge paintings, refer to image Cliff Structure. Oil glazing on canvas / 81.2 x 50.8 cm / 1965
Jeanine / Inward
Spatial painting, expressed with effective colours and depth, still representational in my development. Jeanine is reflecting on something while sitting. Oil on canvas board / 40 cm x 30 cm / 1959
Rain Forest
A number of my paintings may appear abstract but are in fact representational. Seen from a birds-eye view; a wide-ranging landscape. Acrylic on Canvas / 55.8 x 60.9 cm /2000
Self-Portrait
Although formally related to Cubism, it is of representational character. This painting stems from a time before travelling to Canada. The background hints faintly at the left of an easel that remains behind and to the right the Ocean I would soon cross. Oil on laminated Cardboard 48.cm x 34.cm / 1953
Pointillist’s Still-life
My experiment in using the Pointillist’s technique. A still-life floral bouquet. Acrylic on Canvas / 40.6 x 50.8 cm / 1998

Society and the Unexplored
Has perhaps a twofold meaning: One, the virtual expansion of land. Two, the other expansion of the mind. Acrylic on Canvas / 46 cm x 66 cm / 1967 / Sold
Forest Impressions
If it were not for the darkness, the shapes and filtered colours of a forest and its lucidity can remind one of a stained glass window. It is suggested that the tall trees of a forest grove can feel like a natural cathedral. Acrylic on canvas / 91.4 x 76.2 cm / 1968
Trevor / 2010
Dressed for the winter, visiting the countryside with his dad, going for a sleigh ride. Portrait, Pencil on paper / 35.5 x 28 cm / 2010
