'Le Ponant', seascape
2009Le Ponant (288 feet long) was the first yacht to be hijacked in the Gulf of Aden and anchored shortly after the coast of Garacade (500 kilometers north of Mogadishu, Somalia), making the international press. It was the President of France Sarkozy who announced on Friday 11 April 2008 that the 32 hostages had been released. The French armed forces later (following a firefight) arrested 6 pirates, killing three. It has been officially stated that no ransom was paid by the France, although it is suspected that the French shipping company CMA-CGM paid $2 million in cash. The French troops later stated that they had "recovered interesting suitcases". The three-masted ship was sailed to Dijbouti by the French Navy, after which it continued its original voyage to Alexandria (Egypt).
Elephants in Africa.
2009Painted by order of and for the Dekker family who have a super beautiful dream about Africa.
Tropical island, to dream of!
2009Made on commission but again included in the own collection to just dream of when you consider that you could lie there on the beach.
Brug in Brugge (Belgium)
1998One of the many bridges in Bruges (Belgium) where the atmosphere radiates and where the waffles are unbeatable. Beautiful memories of fun times.
The Watermill on a stream.
1998A real water wheel in a water mill on a beautiful stream. What a picture, huh?
Sailing on the IJsselmeer
1993Boating on the IJsselmeer in oil paint. It is always a nice sight when you see the ships passing by. Relaxing on the water is good for a person.
Shepherd with sheeps.
1992An oil painting table of a shepherd with sheeps that I saw in my mind passing by. The shepherd resembles my father-in-law who would have liked to have done this, but his life was different. As a shepherd cares for his sheep, so did my father-in-law.
