Beach landscape with sand pattern and cloudy sky by Lisette Rijkers

The beach and the sea remain fascinating and challenging to take photos of!
The water, the continuous movement of ebb and flow, the sand, the wind, the sky: all this creates a landscape that is different every moment of the day.
What I also like is the combination of the warm tones of the beach sand in beige yellow against the cool tones of the seawater in blue green and grey. Above all this, you then often have a beautiful cloudy sky in blue and white and this completes the picture. Especially in this photo.
This photo was taken after the tide had gone out. The retreating water has left behind a beautiful pattern of jagged sand in which the remaining seawater finds its way back to the sea.
The jaggedness of the beach sand forms a beautiful whole with the jagged and threatening cloudy sky.

All in all, this photo gives you a wonderful feeling of holiday and freedom!

I see making art as a creative process.
As a starting point for this process, I always use a photo or a painting of my own. Photography or painting is always my basis.
A photo or a painting is therefore always a fixed starting point for me in this process. I often have a plan in my head about what the end result should be, but during the process I often change direction. The effect of this is that the final work of art is different from what I had previously thought, but that only makes the creative process more fascinating for me!

I find my sources of inspiration in everything around me. For example, objects in and around the house or something from nature. Every object has its own structure and shape. Beautiful lines, patterns and colours can be found everywhere.

My collection contains creative and realistic photos, special paintings, but also photos and paintings that have finally been digitally edited or distorted.

I have made all of this with great pleasure and I hope that you will enjoy the work of art that will hang on your wall!
