Rooms with a view

For as long as I can remember I dream of beautiful rooms with special views, preferably in the countries around the Mediterranean. To open the shutters in the morning and be surprised by a sun-drenched landscape, with in the distance the ever-changing colors of blue, green, purple and pink of the sea or a lake ... Those rooms were not always reserved for me, but luckily as an artist, you can bend the view to your will. Without being aware of this, I was inspired by Pieter de Hooch (1629-1684), who is famous for his interiors with views: there is always a door or a window open through which you can have a look outside.
