Sylvain Douven / Jean Dratz / Emiel van Dromme



The mood in this work is very appealing to me
A beautiful work by the nephew of Jean Douven,
two giftes belgian artists. Work on canvas.
Dimensions: 50 / 60 cm


For the signature enthousiasts!


Jean Dratz



This Belgium catches the silent and maybe even holy
mood these snowscapes have. It was his specialism.
But besides that he was a gifted and much asked designer.


Some details. Note the trees in the background that 
in fact can hardy be seen but certainly are there.


The subtle use of the color blue plays an important
role in these paintings of which he made a few.


And his signature of course. Work on canvas. He often used the 
same kind of encadrement that was veneered with genuine Brasilian
rosewood.  Very heavy and big. As this painting was sold to an art
lover in France I stated already that he could only buy it without
it. I'm using the veneer for the more precious guitar heads now 
so it will "live" on. Dimensions: 80 / 100 cm.


Emiel van Dromme



A lot of his works popped up just recently at an auction.
They really differed in quality and prices as well.
This painting was hanged very high and hardly
visible but we bought it and were not disappointed!
A belgium based artist who painted a kind of comic
situation: When there's nothing left for you
you can't expect having a dog of big class beside you....
Oil on canvas / board. Dimensions 30 - 40 cm.

His work is fantastic indeed. For some years I visited him weekly and got to know him quite well....I've seen most of his work before it was exposed and I was realy fond of them, still... and besides all that ... he is a wonderful person.
