Masonite, linen, boneglue
My second ‘heptagonal portrait’ is of Steven Crowder, the first was of Donald Trump. Should I now continue the series with one of George Orwell or one of Clair Patterson?
Once in a lifetime

So you see the setting sun itself shining through clouds, closer by its reflection in the North Sea, and even closer the reflection in the channels: one by one due to the… Continue reading Once in a lifetime
Meanwhile above the Netherlands
In this century (also in my lifetime) I returned by airplaine to the Netherlands 11 times. Never before have I had such a beautiful view during the landing.

After I had seen a video clip of the truly Furious Ann Barnhardt (with three capital letters), famous… Continue reading Looking at a beheading or a totally mutilated vagina
