Original artwork description:

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

"Amazing how one tiny splash of red makes the whole blue sky more intense.” (D.H.)
“Your low horizon lines are so dramatic and so very Dutch" (D.H.)
The Netherlands is frequently associated with polders, as its engineers became noted for developing techniques to drain wetlands and make them usable for agriculture and other development. This is illustrated by the saying: "God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands".

"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.”
