Original artwork description:

Springtime in a Dutch polder, red roofs of a farm and a field of golden tulips at the skyline.

Living in a Dutch polder, I'm fascinated by the perpetual changing moments of the light, the sky, the clouds, the colours of the fields.

"I could feel the sky. The movement. The pressure. The unimaginable expanse!
I love how the sky is nearly everything.
The things on earth minimized."

"Amazing how one tiny splash of red makes the whole blue sky more intense. Your low horizon lines are so dramatic and so very Dutch"


"The landscapes of Van Nieuwenhuijzen are extensive, born from an intense experience of the openness of the Zeeland area. An undertone of mysticism is unmistakable. As if caught in line and color movement continues in the invisible behind the horizon. The accentuated line is both the boundary and the window. The subtle differences in rhythm and nuances reflect a range of emotions.” (K.B)
