Swaying Reeds (2019) Original Oil Painting by Hilde Hoekstra

This waving, dancing reed, the rustling sound… it’s magic! The landscape around me is such an inspiration to me.
Just one day of sketching offered me enough inspiration for a series of paintings. I created some sketches of pollard trees and reeds near the lake side, a typical Dutch polder landscape. At the studio, preparing my panels I chose some smaller ones to recreate what I had seen. This is one of a series of ten landscapes I created after that day.



This oil painting is made on an artist canvas panel with a dark orange underpainting. I used Gamblin oil paints and cold wax medium, brushes and palet knifes. 
The canvas panel is glued to a framework so you can frame the painting in any standard floating frame you like. But this can be undone if you wish it. I also applied an iron thread on the back so it's ready to hang.
