My wife was born in Friesland in the north of the Nederlandโs. I created this vibrant painting inspired by Picasso and stained-glass windows. This bold composition reflects images that I remember from our travels throughout this region. Dutch Gabled architecture (one as a windmill) features at the top of the composition as does a stylised Friesian Flag as the sky. Yellow cheese features, tulips, as does a woman wearing a lace cap. An old Dutch bridge occupies the bottom of the artwork.
