Clemensdomein

 

Clemensdomein, in Brunssum, near Merkelbeek. It's an old church (from about 1000AD), a few km from my house. For years this church was surrounded by a large and renowned monastry. But the monastry was abandoned and demolished some 10 years ago. You can view the church again how it looked like before 1900.

Coney Island after the rain

 

Finished another oil painting, on board (MDF) 50x60cm. It is called: "Coney Island after the rain", and was based on a picture I took in 2019 during our visit to NYC. The actual building is not so gloom, and I added a 70s car instead of a few campers. But the actual lookthrough towards the "wonder wheel" is really there.

I finished the painting for the upcoming painting exhibition in Laboe, Germany.
