photoshop | KUNSTELLEN

Er zijn twee dingen die me vandaag bezighielden: Waarom heb ik de mineola niet eerder ontdekt en Photoshop is een geweldige tool om juist als schilder mee aan de gang te gaan. Ik ben geen expert in Photoshop, eigenlijk ben ik er nog maar een paar dagen mee bezig. Maar ik ontdek de vele voordelen. Niet alleen word je elke dag weer verrast door de effecten en lagen die je kan aanbrengen. Het is ook een manier om snel bepaalde effecten uit te proberen. De Undo-knop is immers niet ver weg.

Wat betreft de mineolas… Met deze vrucht kan ik zelfs uitzien naar mijn dagelijkse fruithap. Ik wil geen reclame maken op mijn site, maar deze kruising tussen de mandarijn en een grapefruit is goddelijk. De smaak is friszuur. Mineola’s zijn ook nog eens gemakkelijk te pellen. De kleur van de schil en het vruchtvlees is prachtig oranje.

Deze twee verdienen vandaag een kransje.

There are two things that occupied me today: Why didn’t I detect the Mineola previously and Photoshop is a great tool for a painter to get going. I am no expert in Photoshop. In fact I am only using it for a very short time. But I as a artist see the benefits. Not only am I surprised every day by the results, it’s also a way to quickly try out some effects. Surely the undo button is not far away.

Regarding the mineolas … With this fruit, I can even look forward to my daily health snack. I would not advertise on my site, but this hybrid of tangerine and a grapefruit is divine. The taste is tart. Mineola’s are also easy to peel. The color of the peel and orange flesh is beautiful.

These two deserve a wreath….

My Bio

I am a Dutch artist, living in the southeastern part of Holland. Both I do for the last 10 years of my life.

As a kid I draw full time, won several competitions. The school director urged my parents to put me on an academy for arts. I guess it was forsaken that I do something with it in my future working life. I choose not to. There was a lot more to learn in the world which I didn't know off. I end up in corporate life, mostly as management assistant. I learned a lot. Also I had to consider the time, a realistic artist had no chance in the seventies and eighties. And it didn't help that my parents were totally against an artist career. My creative activities mostly were in music. I had a choir for 10 years and played the piano, mostly my own singer/songer writings. Kate Bush was my favorite back than, but I can't sing so high. Glad my parents didn't complain about that ;-).

But at the end of the nineties I broke... after a few misfortunes in my life, I had to convess: I have to do where I am great at. I started drawing again and discovered that I still could do it well. A journalist discovered my pencil drawings and I end up making weekly columns in the newspaper. They also asked me to write for it. And I did. A world of new opportunities opened for me. But being an artist, writing for the newspaper and also caring for two little children on my own was a bit too much. I choose to be a full time dedicating artist. And bit by bit I am beginning to understand it and perhaps the most important, I am beginning to understand myself.
