Other commissions
for Vlaardingen
2011-2014
After the major commission for Hoogstraat, I completed several more commissions for Museum Vlaardingen. I created three oil paintings of the Broekpolder Regatta, four watercolors to commemorate the reopening of 't Hof/Oranjepark, and two for the Living Statues event in 2011.
I created several watercolors of the city hall, two when the building was stripped and two later from the same vantage point after the renovation was completed.
After Vlaardingen was designated a Protected Cityscape on February 14, 2014, I created several watercolors of the Oostwijk district, Oosthavenkade, and Kon.Wilhelminakade North Sea.
I created two watercolors for the festive opening of the renovated Museum Vlaardingen: one of the still-empty interior and one of the reception area.
Broekpolder Regatta
The 2011 Broekpolder Regatta was held on the Vlaardingervaart canal with 13 participating boats and 122 athletic competitors.
The boats are historic flat-bottomed boats that can sail or be pulled along the towpath by groups of strong men and women.
I created three oil paintings depicting the regatta's course.
Living Statues
On October 8, 2011, a Living Statues festival was held in the center of Vlaardingen.
Although the weather wasn't great that day, I took a large number of photos of the living statues, from which I created two watercolors.
Neighborhood Day
Neighbors' Day is an annual celebration that you celebrate together with your neighbors and your neighborhood.
This initiative is supported by Douwe Egberts and the Oranje Fonds. I created two watercolors of the lively Neighbors' Day in Drevenpark in Vlaardingen.
The reopening of 't Hof and Oranjepark
On June 3, 2012, the reopening of 't Hof Oranjepark was celebrated after a thorough renovation.
For the occasion, I created three watercolors: "Huttenbouwen voor de kinderen," a beautiful view through the marquee, and one of the carriage ride through the park.
The renovation of city hall
I created several watercolors of the city hall, two when the building was stripped and two later from the same vantage point after the renovation was completed.
