About This Work
One of My Favorite Places This graphite pencil drawing ‘Beek-Ubbergen – 12-01-26’ is a quick under two hours impressionist sketch of one of my favorite places. A specific area on the famous N70-route that stretches from Nijmegen all the way to the Duivelsberg and even beyond. I’m talking about the Boterberg and the world that unfolds around it. Last April I made one, called Berg en Dal – 21-04-25. The actual spot in that drawing is further down the path as depicted in this one. Quite arbitrary whether this should be called Beek-Ubbergen or Berg en Dal. Not sure where the municipal boundaries are running. The whole municipality is called Berg en Dal nowadays anyway. Not particularly interesting. What truly stands out is the enormous quantity of artistic motifs lurking around every corner. Sunbeams Filtered Through Trees The most important thing is I feel at home there. Much of a hills / forest man myself and I miss them quite often, living here in The Hague. Not very bothersome though. The Netherlands is a small country and a 1.5 hours drive will take me there, almost instantly. Hence, my regular returns to these hills, mostly before I visit my parents on a Saturday. The photo I took for this one was last year. It could have been just before Spring because trees weren’t in leaf yet. Pretty much looking like today’s view from my window here. However, as a trained artist I see the days are lengthening again. There is a lot to say in favor of trees without leaves as well. Somehow I find sunbeams filtered through trees without them more attractive. Leaves often block the light too much. Makes me want to do more. Graphite pencil drawing (Tombow Zoom 707, 0.5 mm, Pentel 4B) on Daler Rowney Smooth Heavyweight paper (21 x 14.8 x 0.1 cm – A5 format)
