SimPly painting what i see
Welcome! My name is Philine van der Vegte, and I paint what I see. The paintings you will find here are fairly realistic, in a loose style. The subjects are close to home; small things from the kitchen or garden, farm animals and Dutch landscapes. I love to paint people and will gladly do a portrait for you.
I try to paint daily, and blog about this below. The daily paintings are usually small. Most paintings are for sale on Etsy, or you can contact me directly if you see something you like.
Morning dip
(Thu, 22 Jun 2017)
Longest day of the year today! We got up very early this morning to paint the sunrise - on the beach at 5:30. At about 6:30 these people came by for an early swim.
Painting "morning dip", oil on panel 30x20cm. Sold immediately, even with lots of sand in the paint - easel fell over in an unguarded moment. What a rookie mistake...🔴

Off to Noordwijk painting festival! (Mon, 19 Jun 2017)
So I'm all packed and ready to go to Noordwijk painting festival this afternoon. I'll stay there all week, and you're most welcome to visit. See www.schilderfestival.eu for location details. Finished paintings of all 50 participating painters will be hung up in the festival tent immediately and are for sale. We're expecting great weather, so lots of sunny paintings this year!
I'll post the paintings as much as I can on this blog, and certainly on Facebook and Instagram. They will be available online after my return (if not sold off the easel).

Cardboard box selfie (Mon, 15 May 2017)
Picture by Merlijne
Painting ourselves today in art class, with our head in a cardboard box to get interesting light-dark effects. Very uncomfortable, funny though. Portait turned out weird, as my self portraits always
do. Can't get the hang of measuring in the mirror, there must be a better way than just winging it.

Turkey chick still life (Thu, 11 May 2017)
"Turkey chick still life" Original oil painting on panel 20x15cm. Daily painting # 84, available on Etsy. Today, mama turkey ventured out into the vegetable garden. Her chicks got stuck in the strawberry netting, and great panic ensued. When I went to see what all the racket was about,
it was already too late for this little chick. I cut the others loose, under flying attacks from the mother who assumed I wanted to kill her children! I painted this poor thing and then buried it. So
soft...

Building blocks (Wed, 10 May 2017)
Building
blocks, original oil cityscape, plein air in Amsterdam.
Painting size is 30x20 cm on wooden panel, available on Etsy. The cube-like volumes
of the different buildings gve a rhythm in space, taking you away into the distance. Some real colours (the spring leaves in the trees, the red rescue floater and the bright blue bottom left)
brighten up the monotony of the greys. Daily painting #83.
