Rikki's morning ocean

Pebbles or shingles are rounded, smooth clasts (cobbles, stones or gravel, depending on grain size). They are formed by abrasion and rubbing against each other under the influence of water or wind. Hence, they are also referred to as rolling stones. Their presence on Mars suggests that water once flowed there: some were too heavy to have been carried away by the wind.

Pebbles get their shape by being carried along in a river or under the action of sea waves and tides. Particularly spherical specimens are formed in so-called giant or devil's cauldrons. They are often used as such in works of art or as building materials.

At the bay of Marmaris in Loggos on the Greek island of Paxos, I have often marveled at the turquoise beauty of the Ionian Sea. The morning sunlight scatters the seawater colors across the chalky white pebbles. Not quite an ocean but still.... A beautiful timeless work that I painted with watercolor and finished here and there with copper foil tones.

Enjoy this Work on Your Wall. Greetings,
Rikki

Contemporary images and even those from the past inspire me to recycle them for re-actionary contemporary impressionist art. My drawings and paintings are sketch impressions in a loose and free style, the paintings in a colorful palette. I also produce collages and digital artworks or find new inspirations and compositions through paint strokes from existing works. I work fast, from emotion, averse to perfection, careful not to lapse into details and endless fiddling.

Compositions in an almost unfinished state, works that are part of the contemporary impressionist incentive. Evolving towards a more questioning abstract essential contemporary expressive impressionism.

With the internet we are overloaded with thousands of images a day, wonderful. But does original art on the wall still have a future? Yes, you can touch them, feel them, smell them. Paintings and drawings that move and stimulate you, that give you attention and immerse you every day in a bath of total relaxation and pleasure. People say that I am one of the most appreciated and renowned post-war art painters from South Limburg. I sell my original works all over the world. I very much appreciate the cooperation with Werk aan de Muur / Oh my Prints because my originals are now also available for everyone through excellent, high quality re-productions.
