Frank Nieuwland (1955) started painting at the age of 42 as occupation during the summer holidays. But what started as a hobby rapidly became more important to him.
Having worked abroad for several years and due to his continuous contact with foreigners he gradually became inspired by the Dutch landscape with it's wide horizon, high skies, the sea, beaches and dunes and of course the polders. Little by little the Dutch landscape became the main theme of his paintings. Furthermore and in the tradition of the "Haagse School", his color palette contains a high degree of grey and the light plays an important role in his paintings.

2003 Hazerswoude-Rijndijk
