Pollard in Misty Landscape

Kruf, J. (2023)Pollard in Misty Landscape [fine art print]. Breda: Private collection.
This pollard in a misty landscape reflects the spirit of personal quietness and stillness. It expresses individual feelings of significant loss. With the branches being cut off, the meristemic power of the willow is unparalleled and a metaphor for resilience. A painting in dear memory of Wil Oldeman-Helder.

Lessons from the Oystercatcher

Oystercatcher on the Beach
Framed Oystercatcher in my Study

Much can be derived from the Oystercatcher (scholekster) in the world of governance and management. In particular, the territorial behaviour during breeding is packed with exciting study material. In the colony, a “pecking order” takes effect. First come, first served and finding the ideal habitat as a nesting place, close to where the oysters and scoops can be found.

The clear lessons by Paul Valens†, our master on where ecology meets strategy, inspired me to study this exceptional bird. I painted it in Nieuwvliet-Bad, The Netherlands. A drawing including depth of focus.
