Old Dutch Farmhouse by Arie van der Wijst
A pencil drawing I did in 1978 of an old Dutch farmhouse, it’s not there anymore…….a brand new road has replaced this beautiful house. And they call it progress.

Arie, this certainly brings back memories of my early years in Friesland.
This drawig has a typical Dutch atmosphere about it…just stunning realiam.
(Pity about the road! Sad..)
Ah…you’re from Friesland originally……very flat over there and with a lot of farmhouses. Thank you for your comment! Groetjes!

Sad to see this old gem gone. But you’ve preserved this for posterity and art., Arie!
Excellent drawing skills – especially on the foliage, which I struggle with, and just revert to watercolour washes!
Thank you Colin….very nice words….the foliage was a bit much, but still managed to do it okay.
Amazing detail, you must love your work! it shows
Thank you Carole, lovely to say this.

Arie – this is an amazing drawing. It has been done with such artistry that your mind almost fills the colours in and your imagination starts seeing the leaves moving in the wind.
Very nice comment…thank you very much!
