This painting in impressionistic style is made upon a screen drop from Google Streetview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Château Neercanne is een heel mooi kasteel nabij Neercanne net buiten Maastricht in het wijndal van de Jeker en dateert van 1353.

The Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia sailed too close to the shore of Isola del Giglio and hit a rock in shallow water. The with passengers, crew, food and diesel oil fully loaded 240.000.000 worth boat, who just started its voyage over the Mediterranean Sea, tragically capseized. The Costa Concordia chimney has a similar paint scheme like the chimneys of the famous Titanic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En dan gebeurde het op vrijdag de 13e, januari 2012. Het Italiaanse cruiseschip Costa Concordia voer te dicht bij de kust van Isola del Giglio and botste op een rots. Het met passagiers, bemanning, voedsel en stookolie volgeladen 240.000.000 kostende schip, dat net zijn reis over de Middellandse Zee was begonnen, kapseisde jammerlijk. De Costa Concordia schoorsteen heeft eenzelfde kleurenschema zoals de schoorstenen van de Titanic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s0oR1yxshr8/TxMLI96CT_I/AAAAAAAAAS0/tkODpqblSxs/s1600/Yellow+chimney+down+Costa+Concordia+by+Briex.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="224" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s0oR1yxshr8/TxMLI96CT_I/AAAAAAAAAS0/tkODpqblSxs/s320/Yellow+chimney+down+Costa+Concordia+by+Briex.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7723132557698937521-6897560972651989741?l=briexpleinair.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/feeds/6897560972651989741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2012/01/sad-days-near-isola-giglio.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/6897560972651989741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/6897560972651989741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2012/01/sad-days-near-isola-giglio.html' title='Sad event near Isola del Giglio'/><author><name>Bloggen over en plein air &amp;amp; street view kunst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07546218101060159275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T5oQlF_IryM/TqXPaf7sNtI/AAAAAAAAAGY/Xh5xRLuvrm4/s220/Briex%2BSelfportrait%2BFAA%2B2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s0oR1yxshr8/TxMLI96CT_I/AAAAAAAAAS0/tkODpqblSxs/s72-c/Yellow+chimney+down+Costa+Concordia+by+Briex.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723132557698937521.post-1232965635102431316</id><published>2012-01-09T14:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T14:26:50.258+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Europoort Google Streetview inspired</title><content type='html'>The most South-West point at the Europoort area near Rotterdam shows a tranquil North Sea.

Hier ziet u de verschillende stadia van het maken van een olieverf met ArtRage, voorstellende de Wilhelminabrug in Maastricht (NL).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vrB2Nu0QiSo/TuSmzaMmZHI/AAAAAAAAAOY/s5e-wwYqZUw/s1600/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="241" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vrB2Nu0QiSo/TuSmzaMmZHI/AAAAAAAAAOY/s5e-wwYqZUw/s320/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+1.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Original photo of the Wilhelmina Bridge taken from the Saint Servaas Bridge in Maastricht.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DM45p8ZQp5s/TuSm6PKndxI/AAAAAAAAAOg/weoZhA8KywA/s1600/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DM45p8ZQp5s/TuSm6PKndxI/AAAAAAAAAOg/weoZhA8KywA/s320/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+2.jpg" width="318" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;With Photoshop I pimped the picture to better colours.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IWLaTEyKogQ/TuSm6nJ20-I/AAAAAAAAAOo/AIO6rVpRlDs/s1600/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IWLaTEyKogQ/TuSm6nJ20-I/AAAAAAAAAOo/AIO6rVpRlDs/s320/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+3.jpg" width="318" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;An ocre yellow underground with a pencil sketch to start t&lt;br /&gt;he actual painting.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9tMt6QjQqfI/TuSm7tailLI/AAAAAAAAAOw/0XcQJrdujig/s1600/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9tMt6QjQqfI/TuSm7tailLI/AAAAAAAAAOw/0XcQJrdujig/s320/Wilhelmina+Bridge+digitally+painted+4.jpg" width="318" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;The first digital oil paint strokes appear.

His son shall&amp;nbsp;not follow him up because he has other career plans. The shop was originally established in 1881 by the family Lejeune (The Young) and in those days they might have cut the King's hair when he was in town.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="p2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;So yesterday I headed with my withdrawing hair frontier, Converse Allstars sneakers, checkered shirt, Soho bag and PME Jeans for the very first time to this barber to enjoy a true classic hair cut experience and photo&amp;nbsp;shoot. Really everything is vintage in this shop: no fake but real vintage... maybe my grand father went here as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;With me I had my digital camera and tripod. I installed my photo device on the tripod and place it all on a strategic spot back in the shop. I told the barber that I do not use flash so that we have to keep very still from the&amp;nbsp;moment de camera takes the shot. I pressed the camera button to activate the 10 seconds count down. I ran and jumped into the barber chair and asked the barber to get into the perfect position while I put my face into&amp;nbsp;"en profile" position to emphasize the presence of a mirror. Click...the picture was taken and I told the barber that I'm going to make a painting of it and that I will show it to him by the end of December for another fine&amp;nbsp;and clean haircut result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;For those who want to visit this shop like I did, the address is Kapper Lejeune, Willem II Straat 82, Tilburg, The Netherlands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Afgelopen week vertelde mij iemand in de stad dat een van Tilburgs oudste herenkappers per 31 December 2011 definitief zal sluiten omdat de huidige eigenaar en enige kapper Jan Cuypers met pensioen zal gaan. Zijn zoon zal hem niet opvolgen omdat deze andere carièreplannen heeft. De&amp;nbsp;herenkapper is oorspronkelijk opgericht in 1881 door de familie Lejeune en in deze dagen hebben zij de koning wellicht eens gekapt als deze in Tilburg was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Dus gisteren toog ik met mijn terugtrekkende haargrens, Converse Allstars sneakers, geruit overhemd, Soho-tas en PME jeans voor de allereerste keer naar deze kapper om daar een klassieke haarsnijbeurt te ervaren en voor een fotosessie. Werkelijk alles is vintage in deze kapperszaak:&amp;nbsp;geen fake maar echte vintage...misschien heeft mijn opa hier ook zijn haren ooit laten knippen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Ik had mijn statief en camera bij me. Ik installeerde de camera op het statief en plaatste deze op een strategische plek helemaal achter in de salon. Ik vertelde de kapper dat ik geen flits gebruik zodat we ons niet moeten bewegen op het moment dat de foto wordt gemaakt. Ik drukte op de&amp;nbsp;knop om de zelfontspanner in werking te zetten. Ik rende en sprong in de kapstoel en vroeg de kapper om in de perfecte positie te gaan staan terwijl ik mijn gezicht in de "en profile" stand richtte om zodoende de aanwezigheid van een spiegel te benadrukken. Klik... de foto was genomen en&amp;nbsp;ik vertelde de kapper dat ik er een schilderij van ga maken. Ik ga de kapper mijn werk tonen als ik eind december weer voor zo'n prima kapbeurt ga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Voor de belangstellende heren die deze kapper nog willen bezoeken, hier is het adres: Kapper Lejeune, Willem II Straat 82, Tilburg, The Netherlands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7723132557698937521-7858796677394217915?l=briexpleinair.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/feeds/7858796677394217915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/11/somebody-in-city-told-me-last-week-that.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/7858796677394217915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/7858796677394217915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/11/somebody-in-city-told-me-last-week-that.html' title='To one of Tilburg&apos;s oldest barber shops'/><author><name>Bloggen over en plein air &amp;amp; street view kunst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07546218101060159275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T5oQlF_IryM/TqXPaf7sNtI/AAAAAAAAAGY/Xh5xRLuvrm4/s220/Briex%2BSelfportrait%2BFAA%2B2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l5jUJVGaTfY/TrhPKMBtsGI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/dCr9j94-L9Q/s72-c/Kapper+Lejeune+Tilburg+by+Briex+%25282000px%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723132557698937521.post-5791235743667527863</id><published>2011-11-01T20:30:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-03T11:24:57.482+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Sunset over the Kraaiven</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Tw5-ooPFjM/TrBJW0S0_9I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/8dY8NIgdXC0/s1600/Pond+at+Kraaiven+2+by+Briex.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Tw5-ooPFjM/TrBJW0S0_9I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/8dY8NIgdXC0/s400/Pond+at+Kraaiven+2+by+Briex.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;First of November 2011.

The toll house 3 itself was situated across the Bredaseweg, at the opposite of the villa. The villa became an inn later where the Dutch royals stopped by to refresh themselves before entering the House of Orange garrisson city of Tilburg, few miles farther east wards. During the 1970 Dongewyk was a cafe but since many years it has become a private house.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Villa Dongewyk is een vormalig huis dat tolrechten had en is in de 15e eeuw gebouwd langs de river de Donge. Het tolhuis 3 zelf lag tegenover de villa, aan de overkant van de Bredaseweg. Later werd de villa een herberg waar de Koninklijke familie aanlegden om zicht te verfrissen alvorens de ganizoenstad Tilburg binnen te rijden. Tijdens de 1970er jaren was Dongewyk een cafe maar is sinds jaren weer een woonhuis geworden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dongewijk.nl/Landgoed.html"&gt;Website Villa Dongewyk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7723132557698937521-8850707157767903494?l=briexpleinair.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/feeds/8850707157767903494/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/10/villa-dongewyk.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/8850707157767903494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/8850707157767903494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/10/villa-dongewyk.html' title='Villa Dongewyk'/><author><name>Bloggen over en plein air &amp;amp; street view kunst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07546218101060159275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T5oQlF_IryM/TqXPaf7sNtI/AAAAAAAAAGY/Xh5xRLuvrm4/s220/Briex%2BSelfportrait%2BFAA%2B2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eYq8Hrk42aw/Tp2vRV5m-II/AAAAAAAAAEY/GyZOWRxWj_A/s72-c/Villa+Dongewijk+1+by+Briex+800px.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723132557698937521.post-4320150166607966269</id><published>2011-10-17T20:44:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T20:44:43.508+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Pont Royal</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cbgcANjWv44/Tpx3IxhaloI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/UFzQ-9bPzIA/s1600/Pont+Royal+Paris+by+Briex+800px.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="256" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cbgcANjWv44/Tpx3IxhaloI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/UFzQ-9bPzIA/s320/Pont+Royal+Paris+by+Briex+800px.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Pont Royal (Royal Bridge) in Paris.

This could have been a plein air painting. Painted in just 15 minutes, inspired from a Google Street View screen shot. My rapid and rough way of painting makes it very impressionistic. Below is the same scene but more time is spend on it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;School van Louvre in Parijs. Dit kon wel eens een plein air schilderij zijn geweest. In slechts vijftien minuten geschilderd, geïnspireerd door een Googl Street View screen drop. Mijn snelle en ruwe manier van schilderen maakt dit werk erg impressionistisch. De onderste toont hetzelfde tafereel maar hier is meer tijd aan gespendeerd.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7723132557698937521-119114835112127955?l=briexpleinair.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/feeds/119114835112127955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/10/school-of-louvre.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/119114835112127955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/119114835112127955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/10/school-of-louvre.html' title='The School of Louvre'/><author><name>Bloggen over en plein air &amp;amp; street view kunst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07546218101060159275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T5oQlF_IryM/TqXPaf7sNtI/AAAAAAAAAGY/Xh5xRLuvrm4/s220/Briex%2BSelfportrait%2BFAA%2B2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EY9uUdrXulA/TpwkY7uBw6I/AAAAAAAAAEA/1el0BF8OxGU/s72-c/renderer.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723132557698937521.post-5869406130889703914</id><published>2011-10-17T14:47:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-17T14:47:45.301+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reusel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Briex'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fine art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Baarschot'/><title type='text'>Autumn in Baarschot</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3GZdUnx1hA/TpwjBd34tQI/AAAAAAAAADw/ayzaXfdH7Uo/s1600/Baarschot+country+road+by+Briex+800px.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="224" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3GZdUnx1hA/TpwjBd34tQI/AAAAAAAAADw/ayzaXfdH7Uo/s320/Baarschot+country+road+by+Briex+800px.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6Al9gZoAHE/TpwjGOd7wQI/AAAAAAAAAD4/HlCCFxFw8XY/s1600/Baarschot+landscape+by+Briex.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6Al9gZoAHE/TpwjGOd7wQI/AAAAAAAAAD4/HlCCFxFw8XY/s320/Baarschot+landscape+by+Briex.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;The nice country side outside the village of Baarschot in Noord Brabant (NL).

On this spot a monastry was situated in early days. The monks were Franciscans or Observanten. Nowadays this Estate Slavante is a dinner-café, party and meeting centre. I painted this work on a sunny Autumn 2011 afternoon where at that moment the Maastricht locals sat down for a light refreshments and supper. The terrace offers a great panorama view upon the Maas-valley. This is also the starting point for guided tours through the Maastricht "caves", chalk stone mines in the Zonneberg.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Buitengoed Slavante, vroeger Casino Slavante genaamd was oorspronkelijk in 1846 gebouwd als een buiten sociëteit op de top van de Sint Pietersberg. In vroegere tijden stond er op deze plek een klooster van Franciscanen-paters ook wel Observanten genoemd. Tegenwoordig is Buitengoed Slavante een eetcafé, party and vergadercentrum. I schilderde dit werk op een zonnige herfstmiddag in 2011 waar op dat moment de Maastrichtenaren genoten van hun consumpties en etentje. Het terras biedt een prachtig panorama-uitzicht op de Maasvallei. Dit is tevens het startpunt voor rondleidingen door de Maastrichtse kalksteengroeves ("grotten") in de Zonneberg.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7723132557698937521-4308349889476599248?l=briexpleinair.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/feeds/4308349889476599248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/09/slavante-country-estate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/4308349889476599248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7723132557698937521/posts/default/4308349889476599248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://briexpleinair.blogspot.com/2011/09/slavante-country-estate.html' title='Slavante Country Estate'/><author><name>Bloggen over en plein air &amp;amp; street view kunst</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07546218101060159275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T5oQlF_IryM/TqXPaf7sNtI/AAAAAAAAAGY/Xh5xRLuvrm4/s220/Briex%2BSelfportrait%2BFAA%2B2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w9Q0V9Cc7nM/To6NNSBxNwI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Gy-qAHRrawA/s72-c/Buitengoed+Slavante+by+Briex.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723132557698937521.post-8781095728230606852</id><published>2011-09-28T12:53:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-29T06:44:16.158+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Chemical sunset</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EC2lWn40LZ0/ToL7qK7y7lI/AAAAAAAAAB4/nZYMRsQ3A5k/s1600/DSM+by+Briex.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EC2lWn40LZ0/ToL7qK7y7lI/AAAAAAAAAB4/nZYMRsQ3A5k/s320/DSM+by+Briex.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Tribute to Fred Fouarge.
