5.5.25Morning Sun- Painting Of Man Enjoying Painting By Edward Hopper Morning Sun
G. Boersma In Morning Sun, the woman - modeled after Hopper's wife, Jo - faces the sun impassively and she seems to be lost in thought. The bare wall and the elevation of the room above the street also suggest the bleakness and solitude of impersonal urban life. Then again she could just quietly enjoy the morning sun. The figure looking at her comes prepared for a different type of weather as he is holding a folding umbrella. All the best, Gerard

22.4.25A Bar At The Folies-Bergère- Painting Of Man Enjoying Painting By Edouard Manet A Bar At The Folies-Bergère
G. Boersma The man on my painting is enjoying A Bar At The Folies-Bergère by Edouard Manet. This celebrated work is Manet’s last major painting, completed a year before he died and could have been intended as a farewell painting. It represents the bustling interior of one of the most prominent music halls and cabarets of Paris, the Folies-Bergère frequented by Manet. The painting would have been a startling piece for viewers back in the day in many ways. Not least because it seems to follow the traditional format of portraiture but does not name its subject. Indeed, the barmaid appears as just another item in the enticing array on offer in the foreground: wine, champagne, peppermint liqueur and British Bass beer, with its iconic red triangle logo. The background shows a fashionable crowd mingling on the balcony, entertained by musical and circus acts below. In the top left, a trapeze artist in green boots adds to the excitement. This animated scene is in fact a reflection in the large gold-framed mirror, which projects it into the viewer’s own space. Ignoring normal perspective, Manet has shifted the barmaid’s reflection to the right. The bottles on the left are similarly misaligned in the mirror. This play of reflections emphasizes the disorientating atmosphere of the bustling Folies-Bergère. In A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, Manet created a complex, absorbing composition and one of the iconic paintings of modern life.

31.3.25Nachtwacht- Painting Of Man Enjoying Rembrandt's Night Watch Nachtwacht
G. Boersma SOLD The Night Watch is one of the most famous paintings by Rembrandt and formally known as Militia Company of District II Under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq. The painting’s simpler, widely known title was erroneously given to it due to its thick, dark yellow varnish, the painting does not depict a nocturnal scene. Commissioned in 1640 and painted in 1642, at the height of Rembrandt’s career, this colossal painting is a commissioned group portrait of a militia company, the civic guard, charged with preventing attacks on Amsterdam. Such portraits traditionally depicted their members in neat rows or at a banquet. Rembrandt’s version, however, makes the prosaic subject into a dynamic work of art; with its masterful chiaroscuro and dramatic action, the conventions of traditional portraiture are overturned.

11.3.25Las Vegas Casino- Painting Of Woman Hitting The Slot Machines In Las Vegas Las Vegas Casino
G. Boersma I have visited Las Vegas a few times and I love painting people hitting the slot machines. The lights, signs and tons of small details are a challenge to paint and something that totally absorbs me. While painting I realized that's it's not just the bright colors and details that attracts me. I like how people are wrestling with the machines, like a man versus machine kinda thing. But as we all know the casino always wins.

G. Boersma SOLD I always shied away somewhat from taking on a Frida Kahlo, but when a great collector from Miami asked me to do this commission I'm glad I did. Pretty satisfied with the results and the collector loves it! If you'd like for me to do a commissioned piece, I'd be happy to hear from you! All the best, Gerard
