In my work I often display things that easily go unnoticed. The paintings aren’t necessarily big, but the subject is portrayed larger than life. In this way, you too, are able to take a closer look at the surprising beauty hidden in plain sight.

Lillies

2021

On my windowsill they stood glowing in the winter sun. Their colors are unreal and striking. They are a thing apart in these ordinary surroundings.

Gerrie's flowers

2020

I am experimenting with outlines at the moment and wanted to see what the color scheme would do with this interesting green bouquet from a dear family member.

Sweet cherries

2020

Sweet cherries bought on the market made such a delicious picture...

Orchids on the windowsill

2020

Rijssen has streetlights that remind me of the Cross. This is an impression of what I see when I look outside.

Proteas in blue

2020

Light through the window on a bunch of fynbos from South Africa.

Proteas with black outline

The national flower of South Africa is just such an iconic and unique specimen!

Busy budding

Busy with their fuzzy buts in the fragile buds!

Enter the cows

I find cows absolutely irresistibly beautiful. On a visit to Enter I fell in love with this placid group.

Kromvlei

2019

On the farm Kromvlei I was waiting for my husband to finish some business. But I didn't mind! The view was amazing...

Succulent

2018

A whole plant that looks like a flower - who can resist!

Chatting

2019

In memory of a wonderful afternoon with friends where the sparrows had an equaly good chattering.

Even the desert blooms

2019

These small seedpods are as big as your nail, but shocking pink. On a "Driedoring", a grey, hardy bush found in the Kalahari desert. Not all of the bushes carry pink seeds, but some do...

Afternoon sun

2018

In autumn the Virginia creeper has the most amazing colors, add to it some nate afternoon sun and the play between shadow and light and color is just fascinating.

Backyard stoep

2017

A very typical use of an old pot wouldn't you say?

Blooms and shadows

2017

In the garden many beautiful blooms are hidden away beneath the leaves. I had to go down on my belly to see these.

Crunchy delicious

A whole bowl of tempting apples!
