Are you an artist? Would you like to show your work to a wider audience? This is your chance!
I enjoyed becoming a receptionist, a wife, a tour guide, a photo model, a mother, a student, a recycling consultant and a Public Relations officer. Despite my busy life, art was always a part of it. I attended art classes, visited art galleries, made outrageous fancy dress costumes and jewellery and built or decorated objects. Holland is bursting with art! I love Dutch painters Kees van Dongen and Karel Appel, but also Gustav Klimt and many of the impressionists and expressionists.
I had the good fortune to retire at 55 and I haven’t stopped painting since! It’s a passion. I draw and paint mainly portraits and figures, either realistically or in the abstract. I have had a few exhibitions in Holland and Spain to sell some of these works that I just can’t help but produce. I love my addiction! So maybe I did become an artist after all?
Judge for yourself: 15 of my paintings are on permanent display in Lews Cafe on Avenida del Faro in Torrox Costa or visit my website www.cobybloemsma.com "
