Gracht en Riet - Dit werk opent met een ademende stilte: een brede, kalme gracht trekt als een spiegel door het midden van het doek en neemt meteen je aandacht. De waterbaan is niet alleen een compositielijn, hij is het verhaal zelf — vlak, lichtblauw en glasachtig, met kleine rimpels en lietjes van vallende bladeren die het oppervlak breken. De spiegeling van de lucht en van de enkele, ranke bomen wijst je steeds terug naar dat rustige midden; als kunstenaar kies je hier bewust voor eenvoud in vorm en rijkdom in nuance. Het is een gracht schilderij waarin de spiegeling het landschap dubbel vertelt, het daglicht op het water legde als een zacht ritme.
Langs de oever domineert riet en ruw gras: lange, gekrulde stengels in warme, droge tonen die tegen het koele blauw afsteken. Het riet is gedetailleerd geschilderd met dunne, ritmische penseelstreken en puntjes verf, alsof elk sprietje zijn eigen adem heeft. Tussen riet en water speelt een rand van donkerder vegetatie en schaduwen — daar waar de gracht diepte suggereert — en verderop versoepelen vlaktes en akkers tot een rustige horizon met een boerderij en enkele bomen. Dit is een riet schilderij én een landschap schilderij tegelijk: de twee elementen werken samen, de gracht als spiegel en de rietoevers als tastbare, textuurrijke tegenhanger.
Techniek en licht zitten subtiel opgesloten in de details: gelaagde verf voor de diepte van het water, fijne stippen en dunne lijnen voor het riet en de kale takken, en zachte overgangen in de verte die mist of afstandslicht suggereren. De lucht is niet één kleur maar een gefluister van koel blauw met warme streepjes geel, wat het hele tafereel een laat-morgenzon-gevoel geeft. Als schilder koos je voor een balans tussen herkenning en abstractie — het landschap blijft Nederlands, maar het oppervlak van het doek trilt net genoeg om het alledaagse even vreemd en nieuw te maken. Voor wie zoekt: gracht schilderij, schilderij gracht, spiegeling schilderij en riet schilderij zijn treffende omschrijvingen.

The wallpaper looks good.
We have one point of attention: the colours do not quite match the colours on the website. In our opinion, they are slightly lighter.
